Abstract: A copolymer of isotactic polypropylene and polystyrene was synthesized by polypropylene grafting. With the increasing time of polymerization its molecular mass increased. This supports the course of this type of polymerization under existence of long-living radicals. The copolymer was kept in solution at room temperature by high-molecular branches of polystyrene and formed aggregates which can disintegrate at increased temperature.
