Abstract
Synthesis of grafted copolymers of sodium lignosulfonate with methyl acrylate was performed by means of radical (co)polymerization. Mechanism of grafted radical (co)polymerization was proposed on the basis of IR spectroscopy data and functional analysis. Polyelectrolyte, hydrodynamic, polymolecular, and surfactant properties of water-soluble grafted copolymers were studied.
