Substantially non-crosslinked maleic anhydride-modified ethylene polymers and process for preparing same

摘要

Disclosed are substantially non-crosslinked anhydride-modified, saturated ethylene polymers and a process for making them which comprises mixing together in the absence of solvent: (a) maleic anhydride; (b) a free radical initiator; (c) a saturated ethylene polymer; and (d) a polyamide at a temperature at which the saturated ethylene polymer and polyamide undergo deformation and are converted to a molten or fluid state.
