The molecular weight of a graft copolymer is reduced by carrying out the following steps in a non-oxidizing atmosphere: (1) treating a propylene polymer material with an organic compound that is a free radical polymerization initiator, (2) treating the propylene polymer material with about 2 to about 240 parts per hundred parts of the propylene polymer material, of at least one vinyl-substituted grafting monomer in the presence of about 0.5% to about 5% of a polymerizable chain transfer agent that is a derivative of allyl alcohol, and (3) removing any unreacted monomer, decomposing any unreacted initiator, and deactivating any residual free radicals in the material.
