Surface modification of natural polymers to impart low water absorbency
In the present work, graft copolymerization of ethyl acrylate (EA) onto mercerized natural cellulosic polymers in air in the presence of potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator to impart low water absorbency is reported. Synthesized cellulose graft copolymers were characterized with FT-IR spectropho...
