Grafting Strategies

The multi-step grafting strategy was applied, for instance, to line the surface of MCM-41 samples with chiral tartaric acid,311 which was linked onto an... 

Part of grafting strategies can also be used in association with photoinduced polymerization. As previously stated, grafting from methodology consists of polymerization of monomers initiated from active sites distributed along a polymer backbone or a surface. Photoinitiated polymerizations can well be adapted to this... 

Grafted polymer layers offer enormous possibilities to adapt and tune surface properties of polymers and to create stimuli-responsive or bio-functional surfaces. By appropriately choosing the grafting strategy...

Several fiber treatments are reported in literature [9], namely (a) physical treatments, such as solvent extraction (b) physico-chemical treatments, like the use of corona and plasma discharges or laser, y-ray and UV bombardment and (c) chemical modifications, both by the direct condensation of the coupling agents onto the cellulose surface and by various grafting strategies calling upon polycondensations and free-radical or ionic polymerizations.
