Notes:
Methyl Methacrylate was grafted onto cotton by tri-n-butylborane in the presence of water. No graft was obtained in organic solvents, i.e., in the absence of water. The percentage of grafting increased with increases in reaction time, cotton amount, and initiator concentration. Pretreatment of cotton with pyridine also enhanced the percentage of grafting. Glycidyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate were grafted onto cotton by tri-n-butylborane, while no grafting occurred when vinyl acetate and 4-vinyl pyridine were used. Usual radical initiators, such as azobisisobutyronitrile and benzoyl peroxide/dimethyl-p-toluidine, were not effective under the same conditions.
