Abstract
AbstractA method for photochemically induced graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) onto polypropylene (PP) film surface by a continuous presoaking process under nitrogen atmosphere has been developed. After removal of homopolymer formed, ESCA, UV spectroscopy, contact angle, and adhesion measurements confirmed a photografted layer on the surface of the PP film. The results from spectral analysis and surface properties measurements were consistent. The best grafting yield was obtained for 7–10 s irradiation time. Stabilizing additives in the PP film had no evident effect on the photografting. Benzophenone was an efficient photoinitiator for photografting of PP film with AM. An AM concentration of 0.5–1.3M in the presoaking solution was appropriate in the present case. Acetone was the best solvent among the three alifatic ketones tested (acetone, methylethylketone, and methylpropylketone).
