Post-synthetic grafting

Such materials have often been prepared by post-synthetic grafting of an organo-trialkoxysilane, RSi(OR onto the pore surface of ordered mesoporous silica [2-5 ]. 

Direct post-synthetic grafting of catalytically active metal species onto the framework of MOFs has also been effected using ligands groups where initial deprotonation of the metal-binding group is required. This usually occurs simultaneously with metallation. 

In this study, post-synthetic metal grafting was used to incorporate A1 into MCM-41 (Al-MCM-41-P), which was probably the first attempt at the catalytic degradation of waste plastics. The objective of this study was to investigate the kinetic aspect of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) over Al-MCM-41-P. 

Ti-MCM-41 was prepared by either grafting titanium precursor onto surface silanols via a post-synthetic procedure or depositing titanium precursor on MCM-41 from the sol obtained by controlled hydrolysis of a titanium alkoxide precursor followed by calcination. 

This chapter reviews revision ACL reconstruction using conventional BPTB graft via a round tunnel and focuses on where this technique generally stands in the current situation of revision ACL reconstruction. In addition, our preferred procedure of one-stage revision is described with a representative case of post-synthetic ligament failure associated with a large bone defect in the femur. 

Direct synthesis is used for polyelectrolytes such as carboxy polymers, e.g., poly(acryiic acid) and poly(methacrylic acid), which are probably the most common ionic polymers of all. Post-fimctionaliza-tion of pre-formed polymers is a frequently used synthetic method, provided that the polymer is sufficiently reactive. Common examples are the sulfonation of polystyrene and the grafting of thioglycollic acid on to polybutadiene using free radicals. 

In summary, aliphatic polyesters, already an important class of synthetic degradable polymeric biomaterials, have been taken to unprecedented levels of synthetic diversity and tailoring through the efforts of many research groups in the U.S. and abroad. Some of these have been described in this brief review, with a focus on pendent or graft functionality by polymerization of functionalized lactones, and post-polymerization modification. Future efforts in this area must attempt to connect these synthetic advances to specific applications, through the collaborative efforts of experts in the chemistry, biology, and clinical use of synthetic polymer materials.
