Description

In the present study, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate has been grafted onto chitosan by using either chemical initiation, or photo-induction or gamma radiation-induced polymerisation, all under heterogeneous conditions. The evidence of grafting was provided by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TVT-4CJV8FD-H/1/40853b848ce3f663d431d10fb6ed37f0
