Vinyl monomers grafted chitosan

Recently, Li et al. [30], Yu et al. [31] reinvestigated the mechanism of graft copolymerization of vinyl monomers onto carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose initiated by the Ce(IV) ion with some new results as mentioned in Section II. Furthermore, they investigated the mechanism of model graft copolymerization of vinyl monomers onto chitosan [51]. They chose the compounds containing adjacent hydroxyl-amine structures, such as D-glucosamine, /mn5-2-amino-cyclohexanol, 2-... 

A major commercial effort is the free radical grafting of various styrenic, vinylic, and acrylic monomers onto cellulose, starch, dextran, and chitosan. Grafting has been...
