STUDIES ON GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE ONTO POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) AND CURING BEHAVIOR OF ITS GRAFTED COPOLYMER

摘要

Poly(vinyl chloride) was dehydrochlorinated in an alkali solution and then grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using benzoyl peroxide as the free-radical initiator under a nitrogen atmosphere. The efficiency of grafting GMA under the influence of an alkali, GMA concentration, and duration of the grafting reaction, the viscosity properties, and the curing behavior with diamine were investigated. Maximum grafting to the extent of 46.4% was obtained. The optimum curing reaction conditions were investigated. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc. [References: 31]
