Abstract: | Maleic anhydride (MAH) was photografted onto low density polyethylene substrates at temperatures above the melting point of MAH. The effects of some principal factors including irradiation temperature, photoinitiators, the intensity of UV radiation, and the far UV radiation on the grafting polymerization were investigated in detail. Percent conversion and grafting efficiency of the polymerizations were determined by the gravimetric method. The contact angles of the grafted film PE-g-PMAH against water and the FTIR spectrum of the grafted film were measured as characterization. The results show that the photografting polymerization of MAH can proceed smoothly at temperatures higher than the melting point of MAH; the far UV radiation and the intensity of the UV radiation affect the grafting polymerization greatly; the photoinitiators also have influence on the polymerization. According to the FTIR spectra, it is clearly confirmed that the grafted film samples contain anhydride groups. The contact angles demonstrate that the wettability of the grafted films is enhanced obviously, especially to those grafted film samples through hydrolysis. |
