Optimization of malic anhydrate concentration in manufacturing PP-g-MA compatibilizer on test percent of grafting degree by DENNY AKBAR TANJUNG, NOVESAR JAMARUN, ROSLIANA LUBIS

“…This research aims to determine the effect of maleic anhydride (MA) concentration on the process of grafting MA onto polypropylene (PP) chains with the help of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. The method used to mix these two materials uses the blending method using an internal mixer instrument and testing the percent degree of grafting using the titration method with three repetitions of the test.The research results showed that the highest percent grafting degree occurred at a concentration of 86% PP, 11% MA, and 3% BPO, with a value of 10.28%. …”
