β¦ Synopsis
Graft copolymers of acrylonitrile and of acrylic acid monomers on cellulosic materials were obtained by use of ceric ion initiator in aqueous medium at a 50% (w/w) cellulose-monomer ratio. The variations of polfiacrylonitrile) grafts and of the efficiency of grafting with ceric ion concentration, and of polfiacrylic acid) grafts with temperature are examined. The dependence of water retention capacity of the grafted fibers with the graft level is reported.

Acrylate and methacrylate monomers were grafted onto dissolving pulp by the xanthate process. All the nine monomers tested showed a well-defined dependence of conversion on stirring speed. Total conversion and conversion to copolymer vs. agitator speed curves for each monomer were very similar in sh
Acrylic acid (AA) was grafted to cellulose by using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) initiator in aqueous nitric acid solution at 30, 50, 70, and 90ΠC during reaction periods of 30 to 180 minutes. About 45% of the AA was polymerized at 90ΠC after 180 minutes. The grafted polymer and homopolymer were iso
