A PROCESS FOR MAKING A GRAFT COPOLYMER WHICH COMPRISES REACTING A NORMALLY SOLID POLYMERIZED OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYETHYLENE AND POLYPROPYLENE WITH A NITROGEN OXIDE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NITROGEN DIOXIDE OF THE FORMULA NO2, DINITROGEN TETROXIDE OF THE FORMULA N2O4 AND MIXTURES THEREOF, AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 20* AND 100* C., WHEREBY REACTIVE SITES ARE PRODUCED ON THE POLYMER MOLECULE, THEN REACTING THE SO-TREATED POLYMER WITH A MONOMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ACRYLONITRILE, LOWER ALKYL ESTERS OF METHACRYLIC ACID AND LOWER ALKYL ESTERS OF ACRYLIC ACID WHICH ESTERS CONTAIN FROM 1 TO 4 CARBON ATOMS IN THE ALKYL GROUP, BY BRINGING THE NITROGEN OXIDE TREATED POLYOLEFIN INTO CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID MONOMER AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 50* AND THE BOILING POINT OF THE MONOMER AT 760 MILLIMETERS ABSOLUTE PRESSURE.
