Abstract: | The possibility of obtaining modified cellulose products by reacting cellulose xanthogenate in solutions containing oxidizers and acrylonitrile was studied. The ability of the cellulose xanthogenate–hydrogen peroxide redox system to initiate graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile on the cellulose was demonstrated. The influence of various factors on the processes was investigated. An attempt was made to clarify the nature of the reactions involved. |
