Radiation induced graft copolymerization of n-butyl acrylate onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films and thermal properties of the obtained graft copolymer

Curdlan-Conjugated PLGA Nanoparticles Possess Macrophage Stimulant Activity and Drug Delivery Capabilities

“…No reactions onto polymers [24][25][26]. Additionally, the presence of molecules bound to a polymer could favour unobtrusive motion of the polymer chains due to increased free volume, which could be reflected by a subtle T g [27].…”

Preparation of Amidoxime Adsorbent by Radiation Induced Grafting of Acrylonitrile on Polyethylene Film and Its Application in Cr(VI) Removal

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Recently, many researchers have focused attention on grafted polymers as alternative heavy metal adsorbent. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] "Grafting" is a method in which functional monomers are covalently bonded onto the backbone polymer chain. Graft polymerisation allows incorporation of various functions possessed by the grafted monomer to the parent polymer while maintaining the mechanical properties of the parent polymer.…”

Selective Cu(II) Adsorption from Aqueous Solutions Including Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) by Modified Acrylic Acid Grafted PET Film

“…Grafting of AAc onto PET films was carried out by irradiation. AAc grafting on PET film might have followed ISRN Polymer Science 3 >80 -a free radical mechanism where at first primary free radical is formed on PET backbone initiated by ray which then reacts with monomer to form graft growing chain and finally the graft copolymer is formed by a termination reaction [19]. The prepared AAc grafted films (G-40%) were modified by treatment with KOH which increased the metal ion adsorption capacity of the films largely, almost 10 times than the AAc grafted films.…”
