Casein was grafted with acrylonitrile in a water medium using potassium persulphate, at 60Β°C. The reaction mixture of acrylonitrile grafted casein was converted into films by drying the reaction mixture over a mercury surface at room temperature. Stress-strain characteristics of these films were stu

β¦ Synopsis
Abstract~asein was grafted with acrylonitrile and n-butyl methacrylate. The stress-strain characteristics at various temperatures were studied. The tensile strength and percent elongation increase, attain a maximum and then decrease with increase of temperature. Stress relaxation was also studied at various temperatures. The stress decays rapidly with a steep negative slope at 20 Β° and 70Β°C suggesting that there are transitions at these temperatures.
