Block and Graft Copolymerization by Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization Methods

Research on the Graft Copolymerization of EH-lignin with acrylamide

Lignin isolated from enzymatic hydrolyzed cornstalks (EH-lignin) is a renewable natural polymer noted for its versatility and applicability in a variety of uses. Graft copolymerization of EH-lignin with acrylamide (AM) and the application of this copolymer as a flocculant in dye wastewater treatment were studied in this article. The influences of some factors on yield of copolymer and the graft...

Radiation-Induced Graft Copolymerization of Acrylonitrile onto Kappa-Carrageenan

The monomer, acrylonitrile, was graft copolymerized onto kappa-carrageenan (kC) using γ-rays as initiator. The reactions were carried out in a homogenous aqueous medium. After removal of the homopolymer, the graft copolymer was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. A plausible mechanism of grafting has also been suggested. The effect of various factors affecting on grafting, i.e. dose of δ-rays a...

Acetabular osteosarcoma treated by irradiation-vascularized hybrid bone graft.

BACKGROUND Periacetabular reconstruction after malignant bone tumor resection to preserve limb function is extremely challenging. The optimal reconstruction method has not yet received consensus and the functional outcomes still remain unsatisfactory. CASE REPORT A thirteen-year-old girl who was suffering from acetabular osteosarcoma was treated with wide excision of the tumor, followed by pe...

Control of Grafting Density and Distribution in Graft Polymers by Living Ring-Opening Metathesis Copolymerization.

Control over polymer sequence and architecture is crucial to both understanding structure-property relationships and designing functional materials. In pursuit of these goals, we developed a new synthetic approach that enables facile manipulation of the density and distribution of grafts in polymers via living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Discrete endo,exo-norbornenyl dialkyle...
