Abstract

The graft copolymerization of cellulosic biofibers with methyl acrylate (MA) using potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator has been reported. Various reaction parameters such as monomer, initiator concentration, reaction temperature, time, and amount of solvent were optimized to get the maximum grafting yield. The effect of percentage grafting on the physicochemical properties of raw as well as grafted fibers has been investigated. Morphological, thermal, and IR spectroscopic studies of the grafted as well as ungrafted fibers have also been carried out.

Notes

Optimized conditions are: solvent, 100 mL; monomer, 2.00 × 10−1 mol/L; time, 120 min; KPS, 7 mmol/ L; and temperature, 50°C.
