Abstract
An addition reaction of maleic anhydride with polypropylene takes place in the presence of radical reagents or sunlight. The initial rate of the reaction was proportional to the concentration of polypropylene and maleic anhydride, and one‐half power of the concentration of the radical reagents. The increase in the temperature from 80 to 120°C increased the rate of the reaction and di‐cumyl peroxide was effective as a radical reagent for this reaction.Ionic crosslinked rubber‐like polymers were obtained from the reaction of maleic polypropylene with some alkali metal compounds. They showed the characteristic absorption band due to COO⊖ in their infrared spectra.Keywords
