Abstract

The chain end radical of polyethylene molecules anchored on a fresh polymer surface was produced by block copolymerization of ethylene monomer which was initiated by mechanoradicals formed by mechanical fracture of a solid polymer and located on the fresh surface. The molecular motion of the radical of polyethylene molecule anchored on a fresh surface of polyethylene (PE) is induced by a spin exchange of β protons between two equilibrium states at dihedral angles of 15° and 45°, and having spin exchange rates of 7.1×10 7 s -1 at 77 K and 4.0×10 8 s -1 at 104 K. This results in weak adsorption of the radical on the PE surface.
