GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF METHYL ZMETHACRYLATE ONTO WOOL FIBERS INITIATED BY NaBO3/FE(II) REDOX SYSTEM

Abstract: Grafting of methyl methacrylate onto wool ®bers was carried out by using NaBO 3 =Fe(II) redox system as initiator. The eect of M=P ratio, initiator and activator concentrations, and the reaction temperature on the degree of grafting has been studied. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the grafting of MMA on wool in this system. Various improved properties of the grafts were also studied and compared with those of virgin wool ®bers.

“…The water absorption values of grafted acrylic fibers increased within an initial narrow range of graft yield (0–80%), thereafter decreasing very slowly due to the grafting process blocking the water attracting groups on the acrylic fiber chains4 (Fig. 10).…”

“…Graft copolymerization is a well‐established technique used to modify properties of natural1–4 and synthetic polymers 5–9. In this way, it is also possible to modify many different properties in the fibers, such as dyeability, ability to handle, thermal and chemical resistance, wash and wear characteristics, etc.…”
