Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate were grafted onto chitosan by using potassium persulfate alone as redox initiator and in combination with MnCl2 and CuCl2, as inorganic, and both ammonium tartrate and oxalate as organic cocatalysts. The extent of grafting was found to depend mainly on the nature of the cocatalysts used.
