| Abstract: | Poly(vinyl chloride) was dehydrochlorinated in an alkali solution and then grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using benzol peroxide as the free-radical initator under a nitrogen atmosphere. The efficiency of grafting GMA under the influence of an alkali, GMA concentration, and duration of the grafting reaction, the viscosity properties, and the curing behavior with diamine were investigated. Maximum grafting to the extent of 46.4% was obtained. The optimum curing reaction condition were investigated. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
