Abstract
In order to develop new polymeric materials for environmental technologies based on cellulose, methyl methacrylate was graft copolymerised using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator. The cellulose was extracted from pine needles. Reaction conditions for optimum grafting were evaluated. These included concentrations of monomer and initiator, reaction time and temperature, and the nature, amount and composition of the solvent system. Graft copolymers were characterised by FTIR, elemental analysis and swelling behaviour in water and dimethyl formamide. Attempts were made to evaluate the effect of comonomer concentration on the grafting behaviour of methyl methacrylate and on the structure of the copolymers. Candidate copolymers were used as supports for the sorption of metal ions, and results were compared with those obtained using native cellulose, cellulose phosphate and oxycellulose. 22 refs.
