The grafting of metallocene copolymer to higher polarity with acrylic acid

The grafting of metallocene ethyle-octene copolymer to higher polarity with acrylic acid. Metallocene polyolefins (MePO) were grafted in melt due to increasing their surface free energy and adhesive properties. MePO modification with ozone was used to initiate the creation of peroxides on the surface of the polymer with subsequently grafting of acrylic acid in polymer melt. The efficiency of grafting in melt is high, ranging between 0.77 and 0.97.
