“…The type of polymerization to be selected depends on the type of monomer to be grafted; in most cases, radical polymerization has been used [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ], although there is also a report of anionic ring-opening polymerization [ 90 ]. Acrylic monomers (especially acrylic acid) are among the most frequently grafted into chitin [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 88 , 91 , 92 , 93 ]. For the development of experimental procedures, it must be taken into account that chitin is not soluble in aqueous media and, therefore, the reaction must be carried out mostly under heterogeneous conditions.…”
