Grafting of poly(methylmethacrylate) onto various unsaturated rubbers is described. The grafting is achieved through thermally initiated methylmethacrylate in-situ polymerization. The main features of the polymerization process, i.e. conversion vs. time, grafting to rubber and gel percentage, have been investigated. The chemical structure of the rubber influences the process: rubber with pendant unsaturations gives rise to higher level of grafting.
