Recent advances in polymer research has led to the generation of high-quality materials for various applications in day-to-day life. The synthesis of new functional graft copolymer and their nanocomposites has shown Optimization of grafting conditions for obtaining maximum yield of graft copolymers, with improved properties. Biopolymer Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications includes Grafting and network formation has been carried out using different monomers such as aniline, N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. Ammonium peroxodisulphate (APS) and N,N’-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) have been used as initiator and crosslinking agents respectively in the preparation of the graft copolymer networks. Developments in polymer nanocomposites and its various characterization techniques are highlighted in the book.
