Abstract

Graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) onto cotton fabric using tetravalent ceric ion (CeIV)–cellulose thiocarbonate redox system was investigated under different conditions including pH of the polymerization medium (1–4), ceric sulphate (CS) concentration (4–20 m mole/l), MAA concentration (1%–6%), polymerization time (1/4–2 h) and polymerization temperature (0–70°C). Results obtained indicated that the optimal conditions for MAA grafting onto cotton fabric using the said redox system consisted of: [CS], 20 m mole/l; [MAA], 4%; pH of the medium, 2; time, 2 h; temperature, 60 °C keeping a material-to-liquor ratio at 1:0. Applying optimized conditions to different monomers, namely, acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylamide (Aam), acrylonitrile (AN), butyl acrylate (BuA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto the same substrate, the rates of grafting followed the order:

$$ {\text{GMA MMA }} > {\text{ AA }} > {\text{ MAA }} > {\text{ Aam }} > {\text{ EMA }} > {\text{ AN }} > {\text{ BuA}} $$

A scheme for the mechanism of initiation, propagation and termination reactions was proposed.
