Abstract
A process for preparing a grafted polymer in which a substrate polymer is graft reacted with a nitrogen-containing grafting monomer in the presence of a free radical initiator and an amide coupling inhibitor that reduces polymer crosslinking during the graft reaction.
Claims17
A process for preparing a grafted polymer comprising graft-reacting a substrate polymer and a nitrogen-containing grafting monomer in the presence of a free radical initiator and an amide coupling inhibitor selected from the group consisting of primary amides of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, wherein said coupling inhibitor is present in an amount sufficient to reduce polymer crosslinking during the graft reaction.
