Ethyl acrylate was grafted onto monofilament poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers using benzoyl peroxide as a chemical initiator. Breaking tenacity and densities of grafted fibers decreased while breaking elongation increased with the graft yield. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the fiber geometry and its diameter were not affected by grafting. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
