In accordance with the conclusions obtained in a previous paper the viability of such reactive processing is confirmed. Furthermore the necessity of a careful study about the values of the experimental process conditions in order to know the set of conditions which maximize the grafted maleic anhydride into the polypropylene, can be clearly concluded. We observe that the same mechanism seems to be governing the grafting reaction in the continuous and in the batch process. This can clearly be concluded from the results shown in this paper and in previous work.Read More
