Maleic anhydride can be satisfactorily grafted to polymers at low pressures by feeding the polymer through a multiple screw extruder and injecting the maleic anhydride and a free radical initiator into a polymer filled, pressurized section of the extruder. The maleic anhydride and initiator can be pre-mixed in a solvent solution. The solvent and unreacted maleic anhydride can be removed by low pressure devolatilization. The graft copolymer has a yellowness index as measured by ASTM D-1925-70 less than about 10.0 and as measured by ASTM E-313-73 less than about 11Ø Further, between 0.75 and 2.0 weight percent of the graft copolymer comprises maleic anhydride. The graft copolymer can further be blended with an olefinic polymer to yield adhesive thermoplastics suitable for use as food packaging multilayer coextruded films.
