Summary
Cardanol was grafted onto cellulose using borontrifluoridediethyletherate as carbocationic initiator. The graft yield of 15–25% was obtained within two hours without significant gelation of the monomer. Extensive water repellency was shown by Whatman No.1 filter paper after the grafting reaction.
