Pentavalent vanadium ion (V')-induced graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate onto nylon 6 was investigated under a variety of conditions. Increasing the V'-concentration up to 2 mmol/l was accompanied by an enhancement in grafting; the latter was not affected by further increase in Vv-concentration. Unlike grafting, the homopolymer and total conversion tended to increase by increasing Vv concentration. The graft yield enhanced significantly when the MMA-concentration was increased up to 3%; further increase in MMA-concentration had no effect on grafting. Raising the polymerization temperature from 50" up to 70°C caused a significant increase in the rates of grafting, homopolymerization and total conversion. Using a solvent-water mixture as medium for polymerization affected considerably the magnitude of grafting. While using methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and acetone at any ratio in the solvent-water mixture resulted in decreased grafting, using an isopropyl alcohol-water mixture up to a ratio of 25 : 75 gave rise to increased grafting. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Es wurde die durch Swertiges Vanadium induzierte Pfropfcopolymerisation von Methylmethacrylat auf Nylon 6 untersucht. Die Pfropfausbeute sowie der Gesamtumsatz wurden in Abhangigkeit von der Vanadiumkonzentration, des Losungsmittelgemisches sowie der Reaktionstemperatur bestimmt.
