摘要
In the present communication we report on the radiation induced grafting of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto irradiated isotactic polypropylene film (IPP) by Peroxidation method to prepared grafted membrane (IPP-g-MMA). The radioactive isotope Co-60 was used as the source of gamma radiation. A plausible mechanism of grafting has been proposed. Optimum conditions pertaining to maximum percentage of grafting were evaluated as a function of different reaction parameters such as radiation dose, inhibitor concentration, monomer concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature respectively. Maximum percentage of grafting (85%) was obtained at [radiation dose] = 25 kGy, [inhibitor concentration] = 0.04 wt%, [MMA] = 6 wt%, [Reaction Temperature] = 60 A degrees C in a [Reaction time] of 120 min. The evidence of grafted membrane was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy method, Scanning electron microscopy which indicates that MMA has been grafted onto IPP. Hydrolysis of the grafted membranes in 1 N NaOH transformed ester groups of the grafted membranes to carboxylic acid and hydroxyl groups to form hydrolyzed grafted membranes. Hydrolyzed grafted membranes were investigated for their swelling behavior. Swelling properties of the hydrolyzed grafted membranes were performed in different solvents such as water, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Maximum percentage swelling value of IPP-g-MMA was observed in pure DMSO, followed by DMF and water.
