Abstract
A method of graft copolymerization of hydrophilic monomers, such as 1βvinylβ2βpyrrolidone, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, and acrylamide, onto irradiated polypropylene fibers has been studied. Ξ³ ray as well as electron beam were employed for the irradiation processes. Graftβcopolymerization kinetics and the properties of grafted fibers have been investigated. Moisture regain, dyes absorption, and melting point of the grafted fibers were found to increase with the increasing of the degree of grafting. Polypropylene for 1βvinylβ2βpyrrolidone grafted fibers showed excellent dye absorption for almost all kinds of dyes such as direct, basic, acid, reactive, disper, and naphthol dyes. However, for polypropylene acrylic acid grafted fibers, the colorfastness to washing was found to be unsatisfactory. The colorfastness to washing for polypropylene 1βvinylβ2βpyrrolidone grafted fibers was found to be fairly good for certain types of dyes such as vat and naphthol dyes.
