Radiation Induced Grafting of Viscose Rayon Fabrics with Some Acrylic Acid Derivatives and Styrene

Abstract

Radiation induced grafting of viscose rayon fabrics, consisting mainly of cellulose fibers, with some acrylic acid derivatives, namely methyl acrylate, acrylamide and acrylonitrile, and also styrene, has been studied. The resultant graft yields have been determined as a function of the applied different experimental parameters. The impact of the graft yields on the physicochemical properties of viscose rayon fabrics such as swelling, moisture absorption, tensile strength, elongation at break, crease recovery angle and also dyeing ability of the grafted fabrics, has been also studied.

Structural modification of natural fibers for fluorescent probe application

“…The ceric ion initiated grafting of acrylic acid onto rayon fiber was reported by Gupta et al 18 Acrylonitrile grafted rayon fiber was reported by Kaur and co‐workers 19 . Acrylic acid derivatives and styrene grafted rayon fiber were thoroughly studied by Barakat et al 20 Griffiths 21 studied the amines and PEO grafted rayon fiber. Acrylamide derivative, 22 methyl acrylate, 23 poly(o‐toluidine), 24 poly(aniline), 25 and poly(methylmethacrylate) 26,27 were grafted onto viscose rayon fiber.…”

Influence of pH to Increase Grafting Degree into Fluoropolymers

“…Radiation technology is used as a grafting method to modify surfaces of materials in several areas (biomaterials, protective materials, wastewater treatment, fuel cells, alkaline cells, etc.) [1]- [13]. It is known, that several authors have been applied fluoropolymers to study of proton exchange membranes for fuel cell technology [14]- [19].…”
