Hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization of acrylic acid in the
presence of sodium alginate biopolymer and TiO2 nanoparticle. TiO2 nanoparticle and N, N …

Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) is regarded as one of the most useful novel
biomaterial. The invention of IPN can be rendered biocompatible and biodegradable has far …

O-Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) was prepared and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy
and X-ray diffraction. Grafting of acrylamide (Am) onto CMCH using ceric ammonium nitrate …

Grafting of methacrylonitrile (MAN) onto dried maize starch using ceric ammonium nitrate
(CAN) as an initiator has been studied gravimetrically under nitrogen atmosphere in …

Grafting of N-tert-butylacrylamide (BAM) onto starch in aqueous medium initiated by ceric
ammonium nitrate ion has been studied under N 2 atmosphere. The optimum conditions …

Grafting of N, N-dimethyl-N-methacryloxyethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium (DMMSA) onto
chitosan using ceric ammonium nitrate as an initiator was studied under nitrogen …

pH-sensitive novel semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPN) of N, N′-dimethylacrylamide
(NNDMA) and chitosan (CS) were prepared in the form of microspheres by water-in-oil (w/o) …

This study focused on new degradable thermoplastic carboxymethyl cellulose (TCMC)
which was synthesized by graft copolymerization. The obtained graft copolymers (TCMC) …

In the present work, the maleic anhydride and methacrylic acid monomers were grafted one
after another onto chitosan by using ceric ammonium nitrate as the initiator. The optimum …
