In this study, a facile method was developed to prepare fibrous boron-selective adsorbent through introduction of poly(vinylamine) (PVAm) onto polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) non-woven sheet by radiation induced graft copolymerization (RIGC) of N-vinylformamide (NVF) followed by hydrolysis, and g...
