Abstract
AbstractThe structure of cotton fibers grafted by radiation induced polymerization with butyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile was investigated by light and electron microscopy. Degree and uniformity of dye uptake was used to indicate uniformity of reaction. The internal structure of the fibers was studied with the transmission electron microscope using ultrathin cross sections and solubility tests. Changes in the fiber surface, and types of damage caused by abrasion were evaluated with the scanning electron microscope. These tests indicated that the grafting procedure had changed the surface as well as the internal fibrillar character of the fibers and the extent of such changes increased with increasing content of graft polymer.
