It was found that methanol accelerates the grafting of methyl acrylate to high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, teflon, and nylon. Acetone accelerates grafting of this monomer to polyvinyl chloride. The grafting of styrene to polyvinyl chloride is accelerated by methanol. The grafting of t- butylaminomethacrylate to low-density polyethylene is accelerated by n-hexane. The solubility of styrene-methanol mixtures in low-density polyethylene was determined. These data were used in conjunction with previously obtained grafting data to investigate the kinetics of grafting in this system. (auth)
