Abstract
The growth of polymer science has led to the development of new materials in direct competition with natural materials, many of which have been in use since earliest times. This has caused researchers to look more critically at both natural and synthetic macromolecules in order to learn more about their underlying structures and their relation to the properties exhibited by the macromolecules. In this regard, chemical modifications have been devised to impart certain desirable properties of both natural and synthetic macromolecules, and their applications have become an integral part of such chemical modifications. Various chemical modifications (e.g., change of functionality, oxidative degradation, inter- and intramolecular gelation, graft copolymerization), have been practiced to add improved properties to the base polymers. However, among all these methods, modification of polymers via graft copolymerization has been the subject of much interest and has made paramount contribution toward improved industrial and biomedical applications.Keywords
