Zusammenfassung:Acrylonitrile has been widely used in the modification of polymers by graft polymerization. In the present work, pre-irradiation induced emulsion graft polymerization method is used to introduce acrylonitrile onto PE nonwoven fabric instead of the traditional reaction in organic solvents system. The degree of grafting (DG) is measured by gravimetric method and the kinetics of the graft polymerization is studied. The existence of the graft chains is proven by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. Thermal stability of the grafted polymer is measured by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). ► Acrylonitrile is grafted onto pre-irradiated polyethylene (PE) nonwoven fabrics. ► Emulsion system is applied, for the graft polymerization avoids organic solvent. ► Kinetic of the pre-irradiation induced graft polymerization is studied. ► Optimal condition is determined at the temperature below the b.p. of acrylonitrile.
