Abstract
Casein was grafted with acrylonitrile and with a binary mixture of acr ylonitrile and n-butyl methacrylate. Mechanical properties and the fra cture of these films were studied at different temperatures. Due to po ssible transition, fracture behaviour changed ca. 60-degrees-C in both systems. The effect of the polymer (grafted chains and homopolymer) p resent in the system affected the morphology and the fracture behaviou r of casein films grafted with binary mixtures of the monomer.
