Abstract
The invention relates to a process for trapping a free monomer which has not reacted by copolymerization or by grafting comprising at least one epoxide functional group in a thermoplastic composition based on ethylene and/or on propylene and based on at least one monomer comprising at least one epoxide functional group. The process can comprise the following stages: (i) preparation of the thermoplastic composition; and (ii) addition of a sufficient amount of a solid trapping additive exhibiting, at its surface, sites with a basic nature within the Lewis or Brönstead meaning. The trapping additive comprises a porous zeolite, the diameter of the pores of which is between 5 and 15 angströms, preferably between 6 and 13 angströms. The invention also relates to the composition obtained by such a process and to the blends comprising such a composition.
