The formation in wool of graft copolymers of butadiene with acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate has been studied, using the ferrous ion–hydrogen peroxide system as initiator and a heterogeneous liquid phase consisting of a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution and a monomer mixture. The effects of time and temperature, and the pH and concentrations of the ferrous ion and peroxide solutions, on the polymer add‐on are discussed. The dependence of the composition of the graft copolymer on that of the monomer mixture has been determined. Certain features of the kinetics of the reaction are discussed.
