Abstract
Ceric-induced grafting of acrylonitrile onto alpha cellulose isolated from stems of Lantana camara was carried out with acrylonitrile as monomer, and ceric ammonium nitrate as initiator. The optimized conditions were the following: monomer, initiator and nitric acid concentration, and reaction time and temperature. The optimized grafted product was evaluated by IR, SEM, TGA/DTA and WAXDs.
