This paper presents the studies on the grafting of MAH onto PP performed in solution by means of ultrasonic initiation. The effect of sonic intensity and monomer concentration on the amount of grafted MAH was investigated. It was found that grafting reaction could be initiated by ultrasound at ambient temperatures in the absence of an initiator. The quantity of product grafted was found to be 1.35%. It has been shown that optimum conditions for grafting are reached at an ultrasonic intensity of 300 W and a MAH concentration of 30%. PP-g-MAH is characterized by FTIR and XRD. DSC shows that the crystallinity of PP-g-MAH is lower than that of pure PP.
