Loomstate viscose fabric was graft polymerized with methacrylic acid using a KMnO4/KClO3 redox system. The polymerization reaction was studied with respect to graft yield, homopolymer, total conversion and graft efficiency. It was found that the polymerization reaction depends on the concentrations of potassium permanganate, potassium chlorate, and methacrylic acid, as well as on material to liquor ratio, reaction time and temperature of polymerization.
