Abstract
Abstract:
A polymer is a macromolecule that has a significant number of repeating units. It is
possible to modify the architecture of a polymer via grafting, bridging, mixing, or generating composites.
There are several uses for using natural polymers in culinary and medicinal applications.
Polymeric materials became appealing because of their low density and ability to incorporate
properties of their constituent constituents. High-energy accelerated electrons from the plasma
induce chemical bond breaking in the polymeric structure, resulting in the generation of macromolecule
radicals and graft copolymerization. Polymer grafting has become an important aspect of
the formulation development process. When polymer functional groups are changed, a wide variety
of desirable and unwanted properties can be added or removed. It can be concluded from the
findings of the literature survey that graft copolymers of polysaccharides have significant
biomedical applications including drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.
