The obtained adsorbents were tested for CO2 adsorption with a mixture of CO2/N2 having 5{\^a}??15 CO2 using a fixed bed adsorption column at atmospheric pressure. A maximum adsorption capacity of 2.87 mmol/g was achieved for the sample with degree of grafting of 300 and degree of amination of 94 at feed concentration of 15 at 30 {\^A}oC. This was accompanied by good mechanical characteristics and a very high amine efficiency that reached 75 at room temperature, suggesting that the obtained fibrous adsorbent has high potential for CO2 adsorption. {\^A}{\copyright} 2018 Elsevier Ltd}, keywords = {Acrylic monomers; Adsorbents; Adsorption; Amines; Atmospheric pressure; Grafting (chemical); Nanofibers; Polypropylenes, Adsorption capacities; CO2 adsorption; Feed concentration; Fixed-bed adsorption; Glycidyl methacrylate; Mechanical characteristics; Radiation-induced grafting; Syndiotactic polypropylene, Carbon dioxide, adsorbent; amine; carbon dioxide; ethanolamine; glycidyl methacrylate; methacrylic acid derivative; nanofiber; nitrogen; polyolefin; polypropylene; unclassified drug, adsorption; amination; Article; atmospheric pressure; biomechanics; concentration (parameters); controlled study; electrospinning; radiation; room temperature}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85056182593&doi=10.1016\%2fj.radphyschem.2018.10.015&partnerID=40&md5=bd5711e5454fad6da456b24fcb6c4f9b}, issn = {0969806X}, author = {Abbasi, A. and Nasef, M.
