Abstract

AbstractGraft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate on cellulosic materials with the use of quinquevalent vanadium as an initiator was studied. Increase of V5+ion concentration up to 0.0025 mole/liter increases graft yield, and with further increase of the initiator the graft yield decreases. The graft yield increases with increase of monomer concentration. The increase of acid concentration is accompanied by decrease of graft yield. A measurable increase in graft yield was observed with increase in temperature from 65 to 75°C. The graft yield is medium and substrate dependent. A suitable kinetic scheme has been pictured and a rate equation has been derived.
