Abstract
AbstractA novel macromolecular surface modifier, a polypropylene‐graft‐poly(butyl methylacrylate) copolymer, was synthesized through the coupling of polypropylene containing maleic anhydride with monohydroxyl‐terminated poly(butyl methylacrylate). The effects of the raw ratio, reaction temperature, and molecular weight of the branches on the graft reaction were studied. The graft copolymers were characterized with IR, 1H‐NMR, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results of attenuated total reflection/Fourier transform infrared and contact‐angle measurements indicated that polypropylene‐graft‐poly(butyl methylacrylate) could diffuse preferably onto the surface and be used as a surface modifier for polypropylene. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
