    Notes: A study has been made of radiation-induced grafting of vinyl acetate (VAc) on to (tetrafluoroethylene-perfluorovinyl ether) copolymer (PFA). Effects of grafting conditions such as inhibitor and monomer concentrations and irradiation dose on the grafting yield were investigated. In this grafting system, ammonium ferrous sulphate (Mohr′s salt) was added to the monomer-solvent mixture to minimize the homopolymerization of VAc and the most suitable concentration was found to be 2.0 wt%. It was found that the dependence of the initial grafting rate on monomer concentration is of the order 1.5. The degree of grafting tends to level off at high irradiation doses due to the recombination of formed free radicals without initiating graft polymerization. Some properties of the prepared graft copolymer such as swelling behaviour, electrical conductivity, thermal and mechanical properties were also investigated. The electrical conductivity was improved by hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) in the grafted chains to their respective vinyl alcohols. The tensile properties were improved by grafting; however, the elongation percent decreased. The DTA data showed thermal stability of such graft copolymers for temperatures up to 300°C, but stability decreased at higher temperatures.

    Notes: Graft copolymers were obtained by radiation-induced grafting of vinyl acetate (VAc) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) individually and in binary mixture on to polypropylene (PP) films. The effect of some grafting conditions on the grafting yield was determined. The addition of Cu2Cl2 as inhibitor to the reaction medium inhibited the homopolymerization of the comonomer. The grafting process was remarkably enhanced by using dioxan as a diluent compared with other solvents used. The addition of some inorganic salts has a great influence on the individual grafting of both monomers. The gel percent in the graft copolymer was determined; it increased as the grafting yield increased. The swelling behaviour and electrical conductivity for the grafted films slightly increased by grafting. The changes in thermal parameters such as glass transition (Tg), melting (Tm) and recrystallization (Trc) temperatures and heats of melting (ΔHm) and recrystallization (ΔHrc) of the graft copolymers were also followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These thermal parameters of PP were varied by grafting with VAc and NVP and depend on the graft yield, which reflects the change in its crystalline domains and formation of crosslinks in the graft chains. The heat of recrystallization of the graft copolymer by cooling from the molten state decreases by grafting which is a good indication of crosslink formation, since crosslinking decreases the crystallizability of the polymer matrix.
