graft copolymers of acrylamide on carboxymethyl cellulose (d.s 0.4-0.5) were prepared by the use of ceric ion, ceric ion/reductant molecule initiator systems in aqueous medium. the graft copolymers were characterized by ir spectroscopy. the extent of graft copolymerisation was measured in terms of grafted chains as a function of both ceric ion and ceric ion/reductant molecule concentrations. it...

modification of natural polymers like protein by graft co-polymerization is an important method to incorporate the desired properties into the backbone. soy protein concentrate (spc) was grafted with ethylmethacrylate (ema) using ascorbic acid /potassium persulphate as redox initiator system under pressure. different reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction pressure, solvent amount, ...

Casein-graft-dextran copolymer was produced using the Maillard reaction. The copolymer is molecularly soluble in neutral aqueous solution whereas beta-carotene is extremely insoluble. By the method of dialysis or evaporation then dispersing in water, the solubility of hydrophobic complex of casein and beta-carotene decreases whereas the solubility of dextran increases gradually, then nanopartic...

Starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (starch-g-PAN) copolymers were prepared by ceric ammonium nitrate initiation, and the major portion of the starch in these graft copolymers was then removed by acid hydrolysis to yield PAN with oligosaccharide end groups. Although these PAN-oligosaccharide samples reacted with methyl methacrylate in the presence of eerie ammonium nitrate, the resulting products were l...

Core–shell polybutadiene-graft-polystyrene (PB-g-PS) graft copolymers with different ratios of PB to PS are synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Further, the PB-g-PS blended polypheylene ether (PPE) and prepare PPE/PS/PB-g-PS blends. The effects copolymer structure matrix composition on morphological, mechanical properties, deformation mechanism blends studied. results show that submicromete...

A cellulosic component was extracted from low-value palm tree wastes, empty fruit bunches, and functionalized through grafting with acrylic acid in a previous study. The as-synthesized poly(acrylic acid)/cellulose graft copolymer was applied in the current study as an adsorbent for the removal of the cationic dye methylene blue and the heavy metal lead from industrial wastewater. Factors and pa...

Graft copolymerization of acryl-amide onto guar-gum has been carried out in the presence of potassium per sulphate as a redox initiator. The prepared graft copolymer was characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, SEMEDX and TGA-DTA-DTG. Activated charcoal was also studied as the adsorbent in the present study to evaluate their adsorption capacity for Cr (Vl) and compared it with indigen...

Triplex DNA formation involving unmodified triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) is very unstable under physiological conditions. Here, we report a novel strategy to stabilize both purine and pyrimidine motif triplex DNA within the rat alpha1 (I) collagen gene promoter under physiologically relevant conditions by a poly(L-lysine)- graft -dextran copolymer. Using an in vitro electrophoretic mo...

Non-fouling surfaces that resist non-specific adsorption of proteins, bacteria, and higher organisms are of particular interest in diverse applications ranging from marine coatings to diagnostic devices and biomedical implants. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is the most frequently used polymer to impart surfaces with such non-fouling properties. Nevertheless, limitations in PEG stability have stim...
