摘要
N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) was grafted onto a polypropylene copolymer (PP) in melt in a Brabender Plasticorder and single screw extruder. The effect of variation of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and lupersol (LUP) concentrations alone and with 20 wt % NVP concentration in the Brabender Plasticorder on Melt Flow Index (MFI) and final torque values was studied. Variation of NVP concentration (1-10 wt %) at a fixed DCP concentration on percent grafting (G) and MFI was also studied in the single screw extruder. The graft copolymers (PP-g-NVP) obtained by reaction of PP with NVP were soxhlet extracted with isopropanol to remove homopolymer, dried, and finally characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The PP-g-NVP (0-30 wt %) was used as an additive with PP, extruded in the single screw extruder, molded, and the mechanical properties and paint adhesion was measured. MFI values increased and torque values decreased with an increase in initiator concentration, indicating the dominance of the peroxide-initiated scission reaction over grafting. DCP gave higher grafting compared to LUP. When NVP concentration was increased, MFI values increased initially due to more scission, and then decreased, indicating more graft copolymer formation. Mechanical properties increased by incorporation of PP-g-NVP as an additive than PP-g-NVP alone. Paint adhesion increased by the presence of PP-gNVP as additive especially with polyurethane primer.
