Ammonium persulfate-initiated graft copolymerization of methacrylamide onto chitosan: synthesis, characterization and optimization

Ammonium persulfate (APS)-initiated grafting of methacrylamide (MAM) onto chitosan was successfully prepared for the first time by free radical mechanism. Both chitosan and chitosan-graft-poly(methacrylamide) (chitosan-g-PMAM) were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...
