| Abstract | ||
| Poly (ethyl acrylate) (PEA) was grafted onto poly (vinyl chloride) PVC, by free radical graft copolymerization using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. Membranes from PVC and grafted PVC solutions were prepared via immersion precipitation process. The grafted copolymer was characterized by FTIR, and the membranes were characterized by EDX and SEM. The effect of grafted copolymerization reaction time, and monomer concentration on polymerization yield was evaluated. The properties of flat sheet membrane prepared from grafted polymer and PVC was analyzed and the mechanism of grafting was proposed. | ||
