<p>Novel organic unsaturated tertiary alkyl peroxy alkenes are disclosed and a process of modifying (co)polymers employing these peroxy alkenes is also disclosed. (Co)polymers are modified by contacting them with one or more of these organic peroxides and decomposing the peroxide. By this process the physical properties of the (co)polymers, such as adhesion to polar substrates and lap shear strength, can be enhanced. According to a preferred embodiment, the modification reaction is carried out in the presence of a coagent whereby the advantageous polymer properties, such as adhesion to polar materials, are further enhanced. Also disclosed are shaped objects manufactured using the modified (co)polymers prepared by the process of the present invention.</p> |
