Abstract

Photografting of vinyl acetate (VAc) onto LDPE films was carried out with lamination technology and simultaneous method, using BP as photoinitiator. Some principal factors affecting the grafting polymerization were investigated in detail. The experimental results showed that oxygen dissolved in monomer solution had great influence on grafting polymerization. Compared with other routine monomers (St, MMA, AN, AA, and AAm), VAc exhibited higher photografting reactivity. It was observed that the reaction temperature affected the graft polymerization markedly. To film samples with a given diameter, there exists optimum thickness of monomer solution. Adding a pertinent amount of water to the photografting polymerization system could accelerate the polymerization. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 77: 1513–1521, 2000
