Exploring the Diversification in Grafted Copolymer
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper deals with optimization of the reaction parameters, graft copolymerization, characterization
and evaluation of the transformations in Roselle stem fiber on graft copolymerization with vinyl monomer, using ceric
ammonium nitrate nitric acid initiator system. Methods: Different reaction parameters such as temperature, time, initiator
concentration, monomer concentration and pH were optimized to get the maximum graft yield. The graft copolymer thus
formed were characterized by advanced techniques. Results: The physico-chemico-thermal resistance, moisture absorbance,
swelling behavior of graft copolymers and the dye uptake behavior were studied and found to have improved.
Conclusion:
Hence, this first report of novel graft copolymers is to help towards various applications.
