TLDR
The cellulose fibers modified by reacting the hydroxyl groups on the fiber surface with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide, followed by grafting using ATRP conditions go to show that the hydrophilic/hydrophobic behavior of a cellulose surface can be tailored by the use of "living"/controlled radical polymerization methods such as ATRP.
