简介:ThecopolymerswereformedbythegraftcopolymerizationofPVCwithacrylicrareearth.TheprincipleandmethodofthegraftcopolymerizationofPVCandacrylicrareearthwerediscussed.ThegraftcopolymerswerecharacterizedbyFT-IRspectraandscanningelectronmicroscope(SEM).Thethermalstabilityofthegraft-copolymerswasstudiedbythermogravimetricanalysis(TG).Theexperimentresultsshowthatthethermalresistanceandtoughnessofthegraftcopolymersareobviouslyenhanced.
