| Abstract: | α-Methylstyrene was grafted on PVC using alkylaluminum Et2AlCl, Et3Al, and Me3Al coinitiators and CH2Cl2 as solvent or suspending agent. Grafting was shown to be feasible using both solution and suspension techniques. High grafting efficiency and low monomer conversion were obtained using Et3Al and Me3Al, while low grafting efficiency but high conversion could be obtained using Et3AlCl coinitiator. This paper discusses the synthesis, characterization and some mechanical properties of α-methyl-styrene grafted PVC. |
