Grafting of maleic anhydride on polyethylene. II. Mechanism of grafting in a homogeneous medium in the presence of radical initiators

Grafting of maleic anhydride on polyethylene is found to take place also in a homogeneous medium. The course of reaction in nitrogen and in air and the influence of temperature of initiator and polymer concentrations suggest that grafting is due to the chain transfer reaction to polyethylene.
