Abstract

The 4-(1-naphthoate)-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (NfO-TEMPO) has been synthesized and successfully grafted in the melt onto a random poly (ethylene-co-1-ottene) copolymer. Functionalized polyolefins have been prepared by coupling reaction between NfO-TEMPO free radicals and macroradicals which have been formed by H-abstraction induced by the presence of a peroxide. In order to deepen insight into the functionalization ...
