Abstract
AbstractThe addition of a bifunctional monomer, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), to a grafting system containing 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and benzoin ethyl ether photoinitiator substantially increased the graft add‐on of the unswollen and sodium hydroxide–swollen cotton cellulose. Grafting caused changes in the properties of the substrate such as moisture regain, the water of imbibition, and the dyeability with a direct and a reactive dye in accordance with the graft level. The observations have been explained in relation to structural changes in the grafted cotton. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
