Abstract
The melt graft functionalization of metal di(meth)acrylates onto linear low density poly(ethylene) (LLDPE) at 160 degrees C under inert atmosphere is reported here. The post melt grafting FTIR-RI method was used to find out the % grafting of metal salts onto LLDPE backbone. Further, DSC, TGA and HRTEM techniques were introduced to explain the results. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.
