Preparation of poly(eugenol-co-methyl methacrylate)/polypropylene blend by creative route approach: structural and thermal characterization

Poly(eugenol-co-methylmethacrylate)/polypropylene blends were successfully prepared using methyl methacrylate (MMA), eugenol (Eg) and polypropylene (PP). First, poly(eugenol-co-methylmethacrylate) (poly(Eg-co-MMA)) was synthesized by photopolymerizaiton in one step at ambient temperature and without solvent. Benzophenone and triethylamine were used as photoinitiator and hydrogen donor, respectively. The second stage is the blending approach...
