Grafting of acrylic monomers onto polyethylene surface (review)

Autors: 
Bayburdov Telman А., Saratov State University

Abstract: 

A search and review of English-language scientifi c literature about the graft copolymerization of acrylic monomers onto a solid-phase polymeric surface has been carried out. Grafting onto plates and fi lms of high- and low-density polyethylene is considered. The monomers used were acrylic and methacrylic acids, glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, etc., and the main method was UV photopolymerization with an initiator – benzophenone, etc. Problems of graft polymerization in terms of surface modifi cation of polymeric materials are touched upon, and possible areas of their application are outlined.

Key words: 
graft copolymerization
acrylic monomer
surface modifi cation
