Evaluation of the influence of homopolymerization on the removal of water-insoluble organics by grafted polypropylene fibers

► Polypropylene-acrylate grafted fiber as an adsorbent was prepared by UV radiation. ► Studying the negatively affected of the homopolymerization on the grafted fiber. ► Low homopolymerization rate fiber exhibited good adsorption capacity and reusability.
