Abstract

The grafting polymerization of maleic anhydride (MAH) and styrene (St) onto PP was carried out in suspension phase. Infrared (IR) spectra and 1H-NMR spectra confirmed that MAH and St were successfully grafted onto the PP backbone. The influences, such as monomers concentration, reaction temperature, initiator concentration and reaction time, on the grafting polymerization rate were also studied, and then the polymerization model was obtained to describe the polymerization regularities. The results showed that the model was adequate to reflect the courses, and diffusion and equilibrium adsorption played an important role in suspension polymerization.
