Abstract
Process for the manufacture of graft polymers from copolymers of ethylene with vinyl esters, acrylates or methacrylates by grafting an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid thereto in the presence of a free-radical polymerization initiator. Homogeneous graft copolymers are obtained from which sheeting can be made. To this end, the unsaturated carboxylic acid is first caused to diffuse into the copolymer and the mixture is then extruded at temperatures above the crystallite melting point of the ethylene copolymer.
