Abstract:
The grafting of butyl acrylate (BA) onto gelatin, using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as redox initiator in aqueous medium, has been studied. In this paper the reaction mechanism of graft-copolymerization is discussed, and the rate equations of the reaction are proposed. The activation energies of graftcopolymeriZation(Eg), homopolymerization (E_h) and total polymerization (Ep)have been calculated. In order to know more about the reaction mechanism, the disappearing rat9 of Ce(Ⅳ)during the period of the reaction have also been observed.
