Abstract
AbstractThe present paper deals with the graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto Saccharum cilliare fiber in air in the presence of ferrous ammonium sulfate - potassium persulphate (FAS - KPS) as redox initiator. Various reaction parameters such as solvent, time, temperature, pH and concentration of monomer and initiator were optimized in order to get maximum graft yield (69 %). Raw fiber and its graft copolymers with AN were then subjected for evaluation of different properties. Characterization of the graft copolymers was carried out with Scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction studies (X-RD).
