Notes:
Carbon fibers containing thiol groups were produced by reacting carbon fiber oxidized by nitric acid, with excess thiirane. Then, graft polymerization with styrene was carried out in a sealed tube under nitrogen. The following order of initiating ability of the investigated initiators was found: di-tert-butyl peroxide 〉 p-cumenyl hydroperoxide (CHPO) 〉 dodecyl peroxide 〉 benzoyl peroxide 〉 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile. When CHPO was used as initiator, the rate of graft polymerization was maximum at [CHPO] = 0,01 mol/1. Chain transfer constant and grafting efficiency, both calculated from the equations of Fox and others, were compared with the experimental results.
