Influence of solvents on radiation‐induced graft copolymerization of acrylamide into polyethylene films

Development of Membranes by Radiation‐Induced Graft Polymerization of Monomers onto Polyethylene Films

“…In a recent study on the grafting of acrylamide into PE films, it has been observed that the grafting follows a completely different trend when acetone and methanol are used as the grafting medium. [24] The results in Fig. 2 show the maxima at 10% methanol but reaches zero beyond 30% methanol content in the medium, while an autoacceleration is observed at 40% with acetone as the diluent.…”

“…Acrylamide concentration, 10%; pre-irradiation dose, 56 kGy; temperature, 608C; reaction time, 8 hr. [24] ion (OH 2 ) and inhibits the homopolymerization [Eq. (7)].…”

Induction of Physico-Chemical and Thermal Resistance onSaccharum spontaneumL by Grafting Under Microwave Irradiation

“…Recently, grafting of butylacrylate [11], acrylic acid [12], and acrylonitrile [13] onto the starch, acrylamide onto LDPE films [14] and butyl methacrylate onto wool fibers [15] has been studied using redox initiators under microwave irradiation. Methyl methacrylate has been reported to polymerize under microwave irradiation using very low concentration of the initiators [13].…”

Rapid Synthesis of Graft Copolymer of MMA OntoSaccharum spontaneumL. Under Microwave Irradiation for Enhanced Thermal Modifications

“…Recently, grafting of butylacrylate, 14 acrylic acid, 7 and acrylonitrile 15 onto starch, acrylamide onto LDPE (low-density polyethylene) films, 16 and butyl methacrylate onto wool fibers 17 has been studied using redox initiators under microwave irradiation. Methyl methacrylate has been reported to polymerize under microwave irradiation using very low concentration of initiators.…”

“…Methyl methacrylate has been reported to polymerize under microwave irradiation using very low concentration of initiators. 16 Grafting of acrylamide 18 and acrylonitrile 19 onto guar gum and acrylonitrile onto chitosan 20 under microwave conditions in very short reaction time and in the absence of any redox initiator or catalyst has been reported.…”
