Radiation-induced grafting microwave

Microwave radiation is another important energy source and is emerging as an effective tool for graft copolymerization. Microwave radiations have an advantage of instantaneous in core processing of reactants in homogeneous manner. Microwave radiations can rapidly transfer the energy into hulk of reaction mixture, which results in the rapid interaction of the material in the reaction mixture [11,22]. 

Microwave irradiation significantly reduces the use of toxic solvents, as well as the reaction time for almost all the grafting reactions of interest here, ensuring high yields, product selectivity and clean product formations. Microwave-synthesized polysaccharide copolymers exhibit better properties for commercial exploitation than their conventionally synthesized counterparts [11,23].
