Radiation-induced grafting of functional acrylic monomers onto polyethylene and polypropylene films using acryloyl chloride

Summary

Radiation-induced graft polymerization of acryloyl chloride onto films of polyolefins (polyethylene and polypropylene) using gamma radiation was investigated in order to establish a convenient method to obtain polymer films grafted with polyacrylic esters. Grafting was carried out by three different methods; (i) direct irradiation of film in monomer solution (ii) vapor phase irradiation method, and (iii) pre-irradiation in air. The effects of monomer concentration, radiation dose and methods of grafting, on the formation of grafted polyolefins are reported in this paper.
