Variance of whiteness after graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile, methylmethacrylate and acrylamide onto bleached cellulose using Ce(Ⅳ) salt as initiators and the effect of homopolymer on the grafted fibers by photo-irradiation were studied. Also, the development of Yellowing were determined after carbon-arc radiation in a Fade-o-meter.
The results were as follows:
(1) Variation of whiteness of grafted cellulose fibers were influenced by graft-ratio, Inorganic-Organic Balance (IOB) of functional group in used monomers and adhering homopolymers on the grafed fibers.
(2) Yellowing was not affected by the concentration of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate directly during reaction (eg. 0.008>0.006>0.014 M).
