The synthesis of polyolefin graft copolymers by reactive extrusion or other forms of melt
phase processing is reviewed. Primary concerns are the structures of the graft copolymers …

Recent work on the graft polymerization of vinyl monomers to polyolefins and model
hydrocarbons is reviewed. For practical reasons, these reactions are performed at high …

The melt-state linear and nonlinear shear rheological properties of hybrid materials of
polypropylene and amine-exchanged montmorillonite were studied. The materials were …

Environmental threats restrict the use of nondegradable polymers and encourage the
development and use of degradable plastics. In order to obtain a cost-effective …

This work deals with the molecular characterization of maleic anhydride melt‐functionalized
polypropylene (PP‐g‐MA). The functionalization mechanism, the nature, the concentration …

In this work, chemical structures and molecular parameters of grafted materials of PP-g-MAH
prepared by melt reactive extrusion were studied by using electrospray ionization-mass …

Free-radical melt grafting of the multi-monomer system of maleic anhydride (MAH)/styrene
(St) onto polypropylene (PP) was studied using a single-screw extruder. The effects of St …

Due to its renewability and biodegradability, biopolymers have developed interest in order to
substitute oil-derived plastics. In particular, polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biopolymer in …

Plasma polymerization of maleic anhydride has been studied using continuous-wave and
pulsed glow discharges. The deposited plasma polymer layers have been characterized by …

This review summarizes the main advances published over the last 15 years outlining the
different methods of grafting, including reactive extruder systems, surface modification …
