| Abstract: | Abstract The influence of maleic anhydride (MAN) on the molecular mass of atactic polypropylene in the functionalization reaction initiated by organic peroxide was studied. It was found that under certain reaction conditions MAN takes part in the radical degradation of polypropylene after it is grafted. From the results of the study, a mechanism of degradation reaction was suggested. |
