Modelling of the grafting of maleic anhydride onto polyethylene in an extruder

Grafting of maleic anhydride onto polyethylene is studied both computationally and experimentally. The mathematical model involves coupling the reaction kinetics to the description of flow in a twin-screw extruder. The predictions match the experimental observations satisfactorily.
