Abstract
Abstract Graft copolymers are prepared in a two-stage process by first reacting, for example, 1,2-polybutadiene or an ethylene/propylene/alkylidene norbornene terpolymer with dinitrogen tetroxide to form a nitrated backbone polymer having incorporated therein nitro and nitrite functions which serve, in the second stage of the process, as sites for the subsequent graft copolymerization of an acrylate monomer.
