The production of graft copolymers from poly‐α‐olefin hydroperoxides

Abstract
The catalytic and autocatalytic hydroperoxidations of the surface of filaments and laminae of isotactic and stereoblock poly‐α‐olefins have been studied. The peroxidation of atactic and stereoblock polymers in solution has also been examined. Peroxidized polymers have been used as radical initiators in the polymerization of vinyl monomers to achieve their grafting on poly‐α‐olefin chains. Some properties of these graft polymers, e.g., antishock properties of polystyrenes grafted on poly‐α‐butene, have been reported.
