A new soluble terephthaloyl oligoperoxide (OTP) was synthesized by the reaction of terephthaloyl peroxide and 2.5-dimethyl 2,5-dihydroperoxy hexane. Thermal polymerization of vinyl monomers (styrene, methyl methacrylate) with OTP yielded poly(styrene peroxide) (PS-P) and poly(methyl methacrylate peroxide) (PMMA-P) which are used in the grafting reactions onto medium chain length unsaturated bacterial polyester obtained from soybean oily acids with Pseudomonas oleovorans poly(3-hydroxy alkanoate), (PHA). PS-g-PHA and PMMA-g-PHA graft copolymers isolated from related homopolymers were characterizated by H-1 NMR spectrometry, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) techniques. Swelling measurement of the crosslink-ed graft copolymers were also measured to calculate q(v) values.
