Abstract

Abstract The graft copolymerization of 3-O-methacryloyl 1,2; 5,6-diisopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose (MDG) onto polypropylene fibers was carried out by the γ-ray pre-irradiation technique in the presence of oxygen. The isopropylidene groups of the glucose residue grafted on the copolymer were removed by hydrolysis in aqueous formic acid, and the hydroxyl and hemiacetal groups were regenerated. The deacetonated fibers exhibited a considerable affinity for water vapor and could be dyed with a reactive dye.
