Radical-mediated modification of polyolefins: investigation of the synthesis of graft copolymers

A range of strategies exist for the production of polyolefin block copolymers with well-defined morphologies for the compatibilization of immiscible blends; however, high sensitivity to impurities and use of expensive transition-metal catalysts limit their economic viability. An alternative method i...
