High density polyethylene‐g‐maleic anhydride preparation in presence of electron donors

Abstract The reaction of molten HDPE with MAH at 215 and 250°C using di‐ t ‐amyl peroxide and t ‐butyl cumyl peroxide as catalysts yielded HDPE‐ g ‐MAH accompanied by crosslinked polymer. The formation of the latter, increased by the presence of MAH and insoluble in refluxing xylene, was prevented b... View More
