Epoxy groups are introduced by grafting glycidyl methacrylate onto polyolefins. They react readily with carboxylic acid, amine, and other active hydrogen groups on other polymers. 

Hoffman and his coworkers have done a lot of work on the apphcation of radiation-induced graft polymerization for medical apphcation. The hydrophilic polymers that have been used for radiation-induced grafting are Al-vinyl pyrohdone (NVP), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), acrylamide (AAm), acrylic acid (AAc), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and ethyl methacrylate (EMA) onto sihcone rubber were widely smdied.

Figure 14.6 Simplified structure for random ethylene-acrylic ester-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymers which are effective rubber tougheners for PET compounds. The ethylene-acrylic ester segments provide elastomeric properties while the glycidyl methacrylate functionalities enable reactive grafting to the PET matrix via the hydroxyl and carboxyl chain ends of the latter...

Elastomers with reactive end groups such as maleic anhydride (MA) or glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) are preferred for toughening PET. The reason that they are so effective is that they form a graft copolymer by reaction with the PET hydroxyl and carboxyl end groups (as shown below). The graft copolymer then acts as an emulsifier to decrease the interfacial tension and reduce the tendency...

Compatibilizer ABS copolymers have been prepared via an emulsion polymerization process. These copolymers have been functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The functionalized copolymers are blended PBT. Characterization by thermal mechanical analysis indicates that PBT is partially miscible with ABS and the glycidyl grafted ABS (48).

Hydroxyl groups may also be introduced in the polymer by graft-copolymerization of hydroxyethyl methacrylate or glycidyl methacrylate, the latter being subsequently hydrolyzed 91). Heparin was immobilized on such hydroxyl-containing polymers by means of glutaric dialdehyde. The maximal amount of polymer-bound heparin was 80 ng/cm2. 

Polymers of MMA, AAc, and MAA were grafted onto an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber surface after pretreatment with electron beam irradiation [31]. Sundell et al. [32] pretreated a PE film with electron beams to facilitate the graft polymerization of vinyl benzylchloride onto the substrate. The inner surface of porous PE hollow fiber had also been modified by grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) polymer after electron beam irradiation [33].
