Abstract

The photografting of acrylamide onto cellulose acetate films using light of wavelength > 380 nm is discussed. The semiconducting properties of colloidal Fe2O3 (bandgap 2.2 eV) is used for photosensitizing the reaction. Degree of grafting is dependent upon the concentration of the photosensitizer as well as that of the monomer. Methyl viologen (MV2+) is used to prevent e−h+ recombination.

    So far, a number of papers have been published on cellulose acetate–metal oxides (CA/MxOy) hybrids or composites [13–41]. CA/MxOy hybrids or composites materials have been used in relevant applications, including various combinations of cellulose acetate with metal oxides such as ZnO, Cu2O, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, and Nb2O5, in ion exchange process [12–14], adsorption processes [15–19], kinetic studies [20], photocatalysis [21–25], as substrates for enzyme immobilization [26–30], as semi-permeable membranes [31], ultrafiltration process [32,33], biological process [34], proton conductors batteries [35], and in the immobilization of electroactive species, aiming to prepare modified electrodes [36–41]. However, in the field of electroanalysis, the use of chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) based in cellulose acetate–metal oxide composite materials as solid supports has received little attention when compared with others inorganic support materials such as silica gel, sol–gel and zeolites [42–51].
