Abstract
The peroxidic groups produced on the rubber hydrocarbon when oxygen is absorbed by ammonia-preserved latex are capable of initiating the graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate and other vinyl monomers, in the presence of suitable reducing agents. The products so formed contain only small proportions of unbound homopolymer. In the latex state, the products have a much higher wet gel strength and better film forming properties than materials of the same total vinyl polymer content prepared by other methods.
