Modified Polyolefins

摘要

The invention provides a process for grafting silane or silicone functionality onto a polyolefin, comprising reacting the polyolefin with an unsaturated monomer (A) containing an olefinic —C═C— bond or acetylenic —C≡C— bond and a reactive functional group X in the presence of means capable of generating free radical sites in the polyolefin and with an organosilicon compound (B) having a functional group Y which is reactive with the functional group X of the unsaturated monomer (A), characterized in that the unsaturated monomer (A) contains an aromatic ring or a further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation, the aromatic ring or the further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation being conjugated with the olefinic —C═C— or acetylenic —C≡C— unsaturation of the unsaturated monomer (A).
