Abstract
Binary graft copolymerization of thermosensitive 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and pH sensitive acrylic acid (AAc) monomers onto polypropylene (PP) films was carried out by a two step method using a 60Co gamma radiation source. The PP film was initially modified by grafting of DMAEMA through a direct method. The DMAEMA-g-PP film obtained was then subjected to radiation grafting of AAc by the pre-irradiation method to give (DMAEMA-g-PP)-g-AAc. The optimal conditions, such as reaction time, reaction temperature, monomer concentration, and dose were studied. The grafted samples were verified by the FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and swelling; thermal properties were analyzed by DSC and TGA.
