Graft copolymerization of water soluble natural polymer, dextrin has been carried out onto preirradiated Polypropylene (PP) in an aqueous medium using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator. Graft copolymerization was studied as a function of different reaction parameters. The graft copolymers were characterized by FTIR and TGA. The kinetic parameters were evaluated from TG data by using Coats Redfern equation.
