Abstract
AbstractThe radiation‐induced grafting of 2N‐morpholino ethyl methacrylate (MEMA) in aqueous solution onto polypropylene fabric by a preirradiation technique has been investigated. Among the most important factors affecting the graft yield are monomer concentration, irradiation dose, reaction temperature, and time. It was found that the graft yield increased with increasing monomer concentration, grafting temperature, and preirradiation dose. The kinetic studies showed that the dependence of the grafting rate on monomer concentration is of 1.1 order. Moreover, the calculated overall activation energy was 14.2 kcal/mol. The grafted PP fabric shows an increase in moisture regain with increasing graft yield. Also, the dyeability with acid dye was significantly increased due to grafting with MEMA. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
