Yc. Nho et al., RADIATION-INDUCED GRAFTING OF 2,3-EPOXYPROPYL METHACRYLATE ON POLYPROPYLENE FABRIC, AND AMINATION ONTO THE COPOLYMERS, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A34(5), 1997, pp. 831-842
The grafting of 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate on polypropylene fabric w
as carried out by the gamma-ray preirradiation grafting technique. The
grafting extent was found to be dependent on the storage condition of
the irradiated polypropylene fabric, the preirradiation dose, the rea
ction time and temperature, and the addition of solvent. 2,3-Epoxyprop
yl methacrylate-grafted polypropylene fabric was reacted with ammonia
and various types of amines for different reaction times and temperatu
res. The amination extent followed the order dimethyl amine, trimethyl
amine > methylamine > ammonia.
