Preparation and Characterization of Ethylene-Propylene Copolymer Grafted with Acrylamido Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic-Acid
Grafting of acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonic acid (ATBS) onto ethylene-polypropylene copolymer (EPM) was carried out by using a reactive processing method. The grafting copolymer was characterized by means of WAXD, FT-IR, ESCA, and DSC. Improved thermal stability was observed for graft copolymer. Effects of the monomer and the initiator concentrations, reactive temperature, and time on grafting degree were investigated.
