Notes:
After the reaction of polypropylene by ozone oxidation, methyl methacrylate was graftcopolymerized onto the polypropylene. The active species determined by ESR spectroscopy as a peroxyl radical was converted to hydroperoxide, and the hydroperoxide was broken by heating, giving alkoxyl and hydroxyl radicals, the former of which initiated graft copolymerization. The effect of the ozone-oxidation time and polymerization time on the graft copolymerization was investigated. At the constant polymerization time, the total conversion and the degree of the grafting increased with the ozone-oxidation time, while the graft efficiency decreased. On the other hand, at the constant oxidation time, the total conversion and the degree of grafting increased with the polymerization time, while the graft efficiency decreased. These results were compared with a polyethylene case. The mechanism of the ozone oxidation and the initiation of the graft copolymerization were also discussed.
