The results show that the grafting percentage (GP) of butyl acrylate (BA) increases with the increase of the monomer concentration, which could reach 32.6% while the grafting efficiency (GE) is up to 98%. The addition of the crosslinking agent, triethylene glycol diacrylate (TEGDA), could improve GP up to 36.3%. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) micrographs demonstrate that PBA microdomains distributed in PP matrix increase in size less than 500 rim.
