The homopolymerization and graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with EPR and EPDM rubber was studied in a variety of solvents using benzoyl peroxide and azobisisobutyronitrile as initiators. Under the conditions of our experiments the yield of homopolymer and of graft copolymer for the solvents used increased in the order cyclohexane > decaline > toluene > benzene The grafting yield depends particularly on the concentration of the rubber solution. The grafting mechanism is discussed in terms of different initiators (AIBN and Bz2O2). 1985 Hüthig & Wepf Verlag, Basel
