Efficiency of peroxyderivatives in the chemical modification of polyethylene
The thermal decomposition of dialkyl peroxides, peroxyketals, and per oxyesters was realized in order to study the functionalization of polyethylene in the molten state. Two radicals were produced: one to abstract a hydrogen to the polyolefin, the other to combine with such a macroradical.
