Abstract
Paper wood pulp was grafted with methyl methacrylate using potassium b romate (KBrO3) redox system. The effect of monomer concentration, reac tion time, initiator concentration and liquor ratio on the graft yield and polymer loading were studied. The effect of liquor ratio and reac tion time of the grafting system on water retention value (WRV) of the grafted samples were also studied. Optimum conditions of the grafting reaction were determined.
