Grafting of N, N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) onto polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been carried out by using gamma rays from a 6oCo source. Degree of grafting was affected by grafting conditions. Especially, solvent for the grafting was found to be a very significant parameter to obtain a higher gra

✦ Synopsis
Chitosan films were grafted with N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate using the 60 Co gamma irradiation method. The effect of solvent composition, monomer concentration, dose rate, and total dose on grafting was studied. The solvent composition has a marked effect on the degree of grafting. Maximum yield was obtained in the water-methanol (1 : 1) system. The percent grafting increased with monomer concentration and was found to be higher at a lower dose rate for a constant total dose of 0.216 Mrad. The tensile strength, crystallinity, and degree of swelling of grafted films decreased on increasing graft level. However, the graft copolymers showed improved thermal stability.
