Abstract

A weak acid cation exchange fiber was prepared by γ-ray pre-radiation induced grafting of acrylic acid (AA) onto polypropylene (PP) non-woven without removal of the polymerization inhibitor in acrylic acid. The factors influenced the grafting degree were discussed, such as radiation dose, initiator concentration, monomer concentration, storage time and bath ratio. It is found that the initiator 2, 2'-Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was necessary for the increased grafting of AA without removing the inhibitor in AA.
