Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In order to study the graft modification of chitosan derivatives, hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCTS) was prepared and characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis Methylacrylic acid (MAA) was grafted onto HPCTS in an aqueous solution using ammonium persuffate (APS) as an initiator. Evidence of grafting was obtained by comparison of FTIR spectra of HPCTS and the grafted copolymer as well as solubility characteristics of the products. Variations of grafting percentage and grafting efficiency with reaction time, temperature, concentraton of initiator and monomer had been investigated.
