Irradiation-grafted polymeric films. I. Preparation and properties of acrylic acid-grafted polyethylene films

摘要: Graft copolymers of low-density polyethylene film and acrylic acid have been prepared by the direct grafting technique. The properties 27.4, 33.9, 41.2, 46.4 wt-% poly(acrylic acid) graft copolymer films compared. Measurements include degree uniformity grafting, gel water content, swelling on wetting, tensile strength, elongation, ion-exchange capacity, water-vapor transmission, flux solute rejection under reverse osmosis conditions. These were found to vary as composition changed; most be a linear function grafting.
