The kinetic peculiarities of the chain arylation of polypropylene with benzoyl peroxide and the yields of the transformation products (arylated polypropylene benzene, and benzoic acid) were established. The equation of the reaction rate depends on the way in which the samples were prepared and on the benzoyl peroxide concentration in the polymer. The kinetic peculiarities found were explained by a heterophase mechanism.
