The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto modified cellulose was studied at 60° causing peroxydiphosphate as the initiator. The rate of grafting in case of different modified cellulose was determined by varying peroxydiphosphate, monomer, nature of substrate, and temperature. The molecular weight of the isolated polymer has been determined, and the mechanism of grafting is discussed.
