Advances in Copolymer Synthesis and Their Industrial Applications
Abstract: Copolymers, composed of two or more distinct monomers, have seen tremendous growth due to their adaptability in creating materials with enhanced properties for diverse applications. Recent advances in synthesis techniques, such as controlled radical polymerization (CRP), ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and living polymerization have enabled precise control over copolymer architectures, offering tailored properties, such as improved thermal stability, flexibility, and biodegradability. These advancements have had a transformative impact across various industrial …

Grafting of Starch: Synthesis and Thermal Properties
Abstract: Starch chloroacetate (St.ClAc) as a macro-initiator was pre-synthesized with reaction of primary OH groups on powder starch and characterized. In this study, the graft copolymer of St.ClAc with the previously synthesized 2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (MPAEMA) and N-cyclohexylmethacrylamide (NCMA) monomer was made by atom transfer radical polymerization method (ATRP). St.ClAc and its graft copolymers (St.ClAc-g-MPAEMA and St.ClAc-g-NCMA) were characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis. In addition, thermal stability of these new …
