Effect of experimental conditions on the grafting of maleic anhydride onto polyethylene in extruders

This work investigates the effect of the operating conditions (set temperature and prescribed throughput) on the evolution of the MA grafted content on high density polyethylene along a co-rotating twin screw extruder. Samples were quickly removed from the extruder at relevant axial locations, quenc...
