Summary A study has been made of the radiation-induced grafting of acrylic acid onto polyethylene. Grafting was found to be steady state in character in the early stages, when carried out in a suitable medium. Evidence is presented showing that, in the later stages, autoacceleration becomes a feature of the grafting process. Thermal analysisprocedures were used in an attempt to show the occurrence of grafting. Immobilization using N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy,-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) as the coupling agent was attempted. This met with various levels of success. The copolymer-EEDQ-enzyme system was used to couple bovine serum albumin (65 mg protein/g of substrate) and phenyl propylamine (95 mg phenylpropylamine/g of substrate).
