The surface of glass beads were modified with covalently bonded poly(acrylic acid). The optimum reaction conditions were determined to graft poly(acrylic acid) effectively onto the glass surface. The dependence of the graft polymer molecular weight, grafting percentage and monomer weight conversion based on these reaction conditions were consistent with free radical kinetics. Grafting efficiency for azobisisobutyronitrile was more complex compared with the benzyl peroxide initiator system © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
