Radiation grafting of styrene and acrylonitrile to cellulose and polyethylene

The uranium recovery from aqueous solutions using amidoxime modified cellulose derivatives. I. Preparation, characterization and amidoxime conversion of radiation grafted ethyl cellulose-acrylonitrile copolymers

“…Radiation grafting, because Brought to you by | New York University Bobst Library Technical Services Authenticated Download Date | 5/31/15 1:28 PM of its many advantages, seems to be the most appropriate method. In this method using high-energy gamma rays, dose can be adjusted by determining the most appropriate dose rate and without the need for any additive or catalyst a monomer reacts with other monomer to form copolymer [24,25].…”

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of grafted cellulose

“…Styrene concentration: Homopolymer formation during direct grafting can be suppressed by different additives that react with radicals in the solution (Garnett et al, 1999;Hassanpour, 1999;Badawy et al, 2001), we used styrene. The effect of styrene concentration on grafting yield in EHA solution is illustrated in Fig.…”

Preparation of polymer-coated separators using an electron beam irradiation

“…So far, several methods including a dip-coating, thermal treatment, UV radiation, chemical initiator, plasma treatment and high energy radiation have been utilized to fabricate polymer electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Especially, a high energy radiation is an attractive technique since it technique has many advantages: (1) the polymerization proceeds mildly and thoroughly; (2) the chemistry of the reaction system is free of a contamination (no initiators are needed); (3) and the energy consumption is relatively low [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
