The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-
CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

In this feature article, the recent progresses in the synthesis of cellulose graft copolymers
with well-defined architecture were reviewed. The graft modification of cellulose using …

The use of papers in packaging and development of novel technological applications for
paper substrates largely depends on the control of the hydrophilic properties of the cellulose …

Polysaccharides are a natural and renewable feed stock for synthesizing high performance
macromolecular materials. A popular, versatile and convenient route to develop …

This review covers the literature concerning the modification of polysaccharides through
controlled radical polymerizations (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to well …

The objective of the study was to obtain a new biodegradable graft polymer by performing
two chemical processes: first, a transesterification reaction between carboxylic acid's salt …

Cellulose is highly interesting from a materials science perspective, very much fuelled by its
abundance, renewability and low cost. In this review, the heterogeneous grafting of cellulose …

Robust superhydrophobic and superoleophilic cellulose-g-PFOEMA filter paper membranes
were fabricated via surface grafting of poly (perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate)(PFOEMA) …

Well-defined cellulose-graft-polyacrylamide copolymers were synthesized in a grafting-from
approach by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). A …
