The graft polymerization of styrene to polyvinyl alcohol using a photosensitizer(benzophenone) and ultraviolet light was studied. Styrene was grafted onto polyvinyl alcohol up to when polyvinyl alcohol was pre-immersed in water and irradiated by ultraviolet light for 24 hours styrene solution of benzophenone(0.01 molarity). The highest percentage of graft obtained in the grafting which was proceeded in the presence of water added immediately before irradiation was 29%. The grafting was proportional to irradiation time within a certain limit of time, i.e., 24 hours, and presumably was initiated at the surface. After a certain degree of grafting a definite maximum was reached. Graft polymer prepared in this experiment showed high resistance to various solvents.
