Abstract

Casein was grafted using acrylonitrile and n-butyl methacrylate. The mechanical properties of the grafted co-polymer films were studied using an Instron Universal Testing Machine. The morphological characteristics were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The tensile strength was found to increase and elongation at break to decrease with increasing monomer content. The compatibility of the graft co-polymer and homopolymer formed was found to be important in governing the morphological features of the films.
