β¦ Synopsis
The anionic graft polymerization of 4-vinyl pyridine on the potassium alkoxide derivative of starch or dextrin in dimethyl sulphoxide solution was studied. Graft polymerization occurred only at relatively high alkoxide concentration. The yields of pure graft polymer were low due to extensive homopolymerization, probably caused by chain transfer to the acidic hydrogen of the monomer. The grafted side chains of poly-.4-vinyl pyridine were detached from the carbohydrate backbone by acid hydrolysis, and their molecular weights were found to increase with monomer concentration in accordance with a "living" polymerization. The results obtained in the graft polymerization on starch and dextrin were similar.

The anionic polymerization and oligomerization of 4-vinyl pyridine by methanolic alkali metal methoxides in DMSO was studied. The molecular weights increased with increasing monomer concentration and decreased with increasing methanol concentration. This fact was utilized in the preparation of oligo
## Abstract Graft polymerizations of vinyl acetate onto granular corn starch were initiated by cobaltβ60 irradiation of starchβmonomerβwater mixtures, and ungrafted poly(vinylacetate) was separated from the graft copolymer by benzene extraction. Conversions of monomer to polymer were quantitative a
~ct--The anionic graft polymerizations of methacrylonitrile on starch in dimethylsulphoxide, initiated by the lithium and sodium alkoxide derivatives, were studied; the results were compared with those previously obtained with the corresponding potassium alkoxide. With lithium the results were not h
