Methyl methacrylate(MMA) was grafted onto microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) with ceric ammonium nitrate(CAN) as a redox initiator at the various conditions. The cellulose triacetate(CTA) composite films added MCC and MMA-grafted MCC powders were prepared on a glass plate. The graft yield(GY) and graft efficiency(GE) of the grafted MCC were calculated with the simple equations by the weight balance method. The double bond of C=O on the grafted MCC surfaces was confirmed by the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection(FT-IT ATR) spectrophotometer. After grafting, the degree of crystallinity of cellulose powders was decresed by judging from x-ray diffraction(XRD) data. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) photos showed the only solvent and CAN solution could change the roughness of MCC powders and the effect of powder dispersions in composite matrix. The tensile strength of MCC/CTA composite films was decreased with increase of MCC powder contents. When 5% grafted MCC was added, the tensile strength of grafted MCC/CTA composite films was increased from 82.3 MPa to 97.2 MPa. The thermal property of powders was also analyzed by the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).

ESR spectroscopy에 의한 방사선 조사 건조향신료의 조사여부의 정확한 판별에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 방사선 조사 유래의 cellulose radical에 대한 parameter를 분석하였다. 건조향신료 분말 4종(고추, 마늘, 양파, 후추)에 대하여 0, 1, 5, 10 kGy의 감마선을 조사한 후 ESR signal을 분석하였다. 방사선 조사된 4종의 건조향신료는 모두 방사선 조사 유래의 triplet signal인 cellulo
