Polymethyl methacrylate has been graft copolymerized onto wool using a ferrous ion–peroxodiphosphate initiator system in an aqueous methanol medium. Graft copolymerization was carried out at 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C. The rate of grafting was found to be dependent on the concentrations of monomer (MMA), ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ), peroxodisphosphate (PP), wool (w), and reaction temperature. [Acid], solvent composition and ionic strenghth were also varied to study their effect on grafting. Based on the experimental results, a suitable kinetic scheme was proposed. Rate and thermodynamic parameters were also varied to study their effect on grafting. Based on the experimental results, a suitable kinetic scheme was proposed. Rate and thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated.
