Abstract: | Reaction of solutions of ethylene-propylene copolymer with carbonium ion sources, such as isopropylbenzene, in the presence of acid catalysts leads to the introduction of the aromatic and hydroxylic moieties onto the copolymer backbone. Major gaseous products are isobutane and propane. Chain scission accompanies the reaction. |
