Functional chemical modifications on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers via radical graft polymerization can be controlled by managing the mutual interactions and affinities between different components in the grafting reaction system by using Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) as a tool. This figure from Gang Sun and colleagues shows a poly(ethylene terephthalate) sample grafted with 4‐cyanostyrene monomer, using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator and ethyl benzoate as a solvent in the reaction system. Surface morphologies of grafted samples will be different using various monomers. (DOI: 10.1002/app.45990 )
