Cellulose Grafting by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Method

Abstract

Increased public awareness on environmental issues, fluctuations in raw material prices, and global difficulties in raw material supplies have made it necessary to find new, sustainable, environment-friendly, and inexpensive natural polymer sources. Cellulose and its derivatives, at this point, have become an important research matter once again, because of its easy accessibility, abundance, price, minimal effect on the environment, and new properties discovered with the help of technology.
