Radiation-induced grafting of vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride (VBT) onto cotton fabric and study of its anti-bacterial activities

Physicochemical and electrochemical characterization of battery separator prepared by radiation induced grafting of acrylic acid onto microporous polypropylene membranes

“…It was seen that the backbone PP film did not swell in presence of acid even up to 2 mol·dm -3 concentration of acid. This clearly indicated that as reported for other grafting systems [21,22] ambience as shown in Figure 9. We may suppose that in presence of acid all available e aq -are converted to H radical in accordance with Equation (6a).…”

“…As expected, and shown in Figure 4, grafting yield increased with radiation dose. However, it was interesting to observe that the grafting yield increased with dose rate also, unlike other grafting systems reported [21,22] where grafting has been reported to decrease with the dose rate. Lower grafting yields at higher dose rates have been attrib- uted earlier to energy deposition taking place predominantly in bulk of the solution, favoring homopolymerization of the monomer.…”

Versatile Roselle Graft-Copolymers: XRD Studies and Their Mechanical Evaluation After Use as Reinforcement in Composites

“…Natural fibers such as ramie, flax, jute and pine needle have been widely studied by various researchers because of their relatively high strength and stiffness and for their application in industries such as automobile, packaging and construction materials that fulfill the economic and ecological requirements [1][2][3][4] . Cellulose, starch, chitosan, guar-gum and psylium have been modified for their use in metal ion-sorption, drug delivery and water absorption studies [5][6][7][8][9][10] . Cellulosic fiber possesses both crystalline and amorphous regions.…”

Recycling the Cellulosic Biomass to Competent Advanced Material

“…Numerous scientists have explored the potential of this chemical technique on different natural fibers and used latest advanced means of characterization like FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, DTA, DSC and evaluated the properties for their variable applications. It modifies the properties of polymer back-bone and incorporates the desired features without drastically affecting the basic traits of the substrate [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
