Abstract
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) was grafted with maleic anhydride through reactive extrusion by using diisopropyl benzene peroxide as an initiator and 9-vinyl anthracene as a stabilizer. Effects of various parameters on grafting degree were investigated including the amounts of monomer, initiator and stabilizer. The maximum extent of grafting achieved was 0.74%. The graft polymers were characterized using FTIR, water contact angle, thermal, mechanical and XRD studies. Improved hydrophilic and mechanical properties were observed for graft polymers.
