Free radical generation upon plasma treatment of cotton fibers and their initiation efficiency in surface-graft polymerization

Radiation-induced grafting of cellulose for adsorption of hazardous water pollutants: A review

“…Some of the radical species decay rather slowly: they are observable by EPR spectroscopy days after the irradiation (Andreozzi et al, 2005). From the earlier works we mention the reviews of Arthur (1971a,b) and Arthur and Hinojosa (1971) that summarized the results on the structure of radicals produced in cellulose by a large variety of initiation.…”

Surface modification of PET films by atmospheric pressure plasma-induced acrylic acid inverse emulsion graft polymerization

“…Detailed discussion with the contact angle results are given in a subsequent section. In general, it is the nature and the surface intensity of the free radicals that determine the efficiency of plasma-induced grafting reaction [20]. The mass change could also be too small to be detected by the electron balance.…”

Preparation of amine group-containing chelating fiber for thorough removal of mercury ions

“…Three peaks appeared in the ESR spectra of the PP-ir fiber and indicated the type of radicals on the fiber as follows, according to Laura Andreozzi et al [17,18]:…”
