Abstract
AbstractUV‐radiation‐induced graft‐copolymerization of cotton cellulose was carried out with 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the presence of small amounts of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) using benzoin ethyl ether (BEE), uranyl nitrate (UN), and ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as photoinitiators. The presence of very small amounts of (TEGDMA) in the HEMA grafting bath led to great enhancement in the graft add‐on as compared to that obtained on the sodium hydroxide‐preswollen substrate. With increase in the graft add‐on, the breaking load of cotton decreased, whereas its thermal stability improved © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
