The graft copolymerization of monomer-olefins on polylpropylene film by a pre-irradiation of gamma-ray under atmosphere has been studied.Both radicals and peroxides,which were produced during the irradiation in air,can initiate graft copoly-merization.When the irradiated polymer is stored for a long period under atmosphere at 100℃ before grafting,the trapped radicals will decay gradually;although the grafting may be still induced by the peroxides,the degree of grafting is apparently decreased.The activation energy of the grafting initiated by the peroxide was calculated as 10.9—18.3 kcal/mol.Such grafted film may be dyed with direct or acid dyes in aqueous bath when the degree of graft is about 20% by weight.It has been shown that the mechanical properties of the copolymer depend on its supramoleculer structures.
