The possibility of obtaining modified cellulose products by reacting cellulose xanthogenate in solutions containing oxidizers and acrylonitrile was studied. The ability of the cellulose xanthogenate–hydrogen peroxide redox system to initiate graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile on the cellulose was demonstrated. The influence of various factors on the processes was investigated. An attempt was made to clarify the nature of the reactions involved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
