Abstract
This paper deals with the graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) onto ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVAL) film initiated by cerium(IV) ion. It was found that both the chemical and diffusion factors had influences on the graft reaction. The reaction was initiated on the surface and then penetrated inward as the grafting percentage was increased. The permeability of urea through the grafted EVAL film was improved compared to that of the original film as was the blood compatibility.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
