%X The results of a study of grafting to pre-irradiated cellulose are presented using the monomers styrene, vinyl acetate, and 2- and 4-vinylpyridines. The effect of pre-irradiation dose has been examined over the range 1-10 Mrad in air at dose rates of 0.114-1.16 Mrad/hr. Of a number of additives included in the grafting solutions, small amounts (10-23%) of acridine completely suppressed grafting, anthracene inhibited it, and the halobenzenes produced a sensitization in the reaction.
