Some kinetic features of the mutual radiation grafting of styrene to polyethylene terephthalare fibers have been investigated. The effects of type of swelling agent, monomer concentration, and temperature have been determined. In general a maximum in the grafting rate was found to occur both with the concentration of swelling agent and with temperature. Undrawn fibers were found to graft at higher rates and maximum yield than drawn fibers. These and other features are discussed in terms of a simple grafting scheme coupled with diffusion controlled kinetics.
