Abstract
Chemical analysis (iodometric titration) and electron spin resonance showed that alkoxyl radicals formed in decomposition of hydroperoxide groups make the predominant contribution to initiation of graft polymerization of ionogenic nitrogen-containing vinylic monomers to previously irradiated polypropylene fiber. It was shown that the concentration of alkoxyl radicals and the rate of graft polymerization increase when polypropylene fiber containing copper phthalocyanine complex is used.
