Abstract
This chapter describes a recent literature analysis on the synthesis, applications, and biodegradation of green-based grafted acrylic copolymers and nanocomposites. It presents an updated review of the different polymers, such as natural gums, starch, cellulose, polylactic acid, chitosan, and alginate, modified through this methodology. In all cases reviewed, these materials are copolymers of polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyacrylamide (PAM), or sometimes both simultaneously, grafted to other natural polymers with a polysaccharide chain. Copolymerization is normally carried out in aqueous solutions of the biodegradable polymer adding acrylic acid (AA) or acrylamide (AM) and a radical initiator to start the in-situ polymerization process. In some cases, depending on the final application, small concentrations of methylene bisacrylamide (MAB) is added to the polymerization solution as a crosslinking agent. The biodegradation analysis of the prepared copolymers is conducted under three conditions and tests: the first one is by composting; the second one is the soil burial method; and the third one, normally used in copolymers used for controlled release agents of drugs, is carried out through in-vitro tests using standardized buffer solutions or pancreatic solutions in pH ranges, simulating the conditions of stomach gastric juices.
