Grafting of Nylon-6, 6 on Cellulose Acetate

Graft polymers of Nylon-6, 6 on cellulose acetate were obtained by successive alternate controlled addition of adipoyl chloride followed by 1,6-hexane diamine to the potassium alkoxide derivative of cellulose diacetate in tetrahydrofuran. The graft polymers were fractionated and isolated from homopolymer fractions. Their Nylon-6, 6 content increased upon increasing the monomer concentration.
