Characteristics and Applications of the AAm-Grafting PE

Article Preview

Abstract:

Waste plastics are environment problems needed to be solved. Amount of studies have showed that waste plastics can be used as a part of construction materials. However, the hydrophobic property of organic polymers is a fatal issue should be solved. In this study, acrylamide monomer (AAm) was grafted onto PE surface by using benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator. Contact angle, surface functional groups, and surface morphology of PE films were characterized for original and AAM-grafting PE films. The interfacial zone of PE and CSH was observed with SEM. Experimental results showed that AAm could be successfully grafted onto PE surface. The hydrohilicity of PE was enhanced by AAm grafting.
