Grafting of itaconic acid on low density polyethylene in the molten state has been investigated. Static and dynamic mixers assembled on the Brabender plastograph have been used as a blender of reagents and as a chemical reactor. Shear rates were 50 and 100 s −1 . Dicumyl peroxide; 2,5‐dimethyl‐2,5‐di‐( tert ‐butylperoxy)hexane; 2,2‐di‐( tert ‐butyl‐peroxy)‐5,5,6‐trimethylbicyclo‐[2,2,1]‐heptane; 2,2‐di(3‐methyl‐1‐butyne‐3‐peroxy)‐5,5,6‐trimethylbicyclo[2,2,1]heptane; 2,5‐dimethyl‐2‐hydroxy‐5‐ tert ‐butylperoxy‐3‐hexyne were used as peroxide initiators of grafting. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
