Abstract: Graft copolymerization of MMA onto bagasse pith initiated by KMnO4 has been studied.The effects of concentration of KMnO4, reaction temperature and time on grafting havebeen examined. Lignin in bagasse pith gave a bigh graft degree, but it simitaneously showeda certain inhibiting effect on graftin due to the quinoid form of its phenolic groups byoxidation. The α-OH groups in lignin molecule accelerate the graft polymerization.

Key words: bagasse pith, lignin, methyl methacrylate, potassium permaganate, graft copolymerization
