Controlled degradation reactions in EPDM bulk modification with maleic anhydride

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Two kinds of EPDM rubber were bulk functionalized with maleic anhydride, using dicumyl peroxide as radical source, in the presence of stabilizers and electron donor in order to minimize degradative oxidation. Different peroxide type initiators were tested aiming to control oxidation without deleteriously affecting grafting efficiency.
