Photo-induced graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto cellulose containing benzoyl xanthate chromophore

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cellulose is conveniently functionalized to the corresponding S-benzoyl cellulose xanthate. Photolysis of S-benzoyl cellulose xanthate in presence of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated graft copolymerization which was confirmed by different analytical techniques.
