Abstract

It has been observed that grafting of vinyl monomers onto cellulose nitrate in solution takes place using benzoyl peroxode. The graft copolymer was isolated from the unreacted backbone and homopolymer by selective solvent extraction. The effect of variables, such as the initiator concentration, the monomer concentration and the reaction time on the percent grafting and the grafting efficiency, were discussed. A probable mechanism for grafting of vinyl monomers to cellulose nitrate in solution has been proposed.
