Grafting of polyacrylonitrile onto guar gum under microwave irradiation

Abstract: Using microwave (MW) irradiation grafting of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) onto guar gum in water was done without using any radical initiator or catalyst within a very short reaction time. The extent of grafting could be adjusted by controlling the reaction conditions and maximum percentage grafting (%G) of about 188% was obtained under optimum conditions in 1.66 min. The average molecular weight of the grafted PAN chains and water-retention power of the alkali hydrolyzed MW-grafted gums were also determined and co… Show more

“…It is evident from The counter reading at peak intensity at 22˚ is said to represent the crystalline material and the peak intensity at 18˚ corresponds to the amorphous material in cellulose [60,61] , Percentage Crystallinity [62] and crystalline index [63,64] were calculated and tabulated in Table 4. A poor crystallinity index in case of untreated hemp fibers reinforced in cellulose filled epoxy matrix means poor order of cellulose crystals to the fiber axis during treatments, indicated by the lower crystallinity index.…”
