 | | Conventional techniques for graft copolymerization use excessive amounts of toxic liquid solvents to dissolve the polymer, which in turn requires an expensive solvent recovery schemes in the process. |
 | | This invention accomplishes the free radical polymerization of free radically polymerizable monomers or the free radical graft copolymerization of polyolefins and other high molecular weight polymers including elastomers, thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers, high performance polymers or combinations thereof with free radically polymerizable monomers and/or free radically grafted monomers. |
 | | The polymers derived from the unique process of this invention are useful in paints, adhesives, compatibilizers, composites, bulk polymers, bulk plastics, bulk elastomers, fabrics, fibers, fillers for sterilizable packaging, metal coatings, solidified radioactive wastes, microbial resistant copolymers, improved dyable fibers, paper reinforcing agents, and printable polymer films. |
