Abstract

Abstract The reaction of EPR with dicumyl peroxide at 180°C or t ‐butyl perbenzoate at 140°C resulted in the formation of a fraction insoluble in cyclohexane at 22°C. The presence of maleic anhydride (MAH) in the EPR‐peroxide reaction mixture increased the amount of insoluble polymer, whose concentr...
