Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto bamboo was evidenced by means of infrared spectroscopic technique. A comparative study of chemical initiated and radiation‐induced grafting methods was made. The chemical‐initiated copolymerization treatment with water as the swelling agent can yield high grafting percentage, whereeas the radiation‐induced copolymerization treatment gives very low grafting percentage.
