摘要:

The current crisis in municipal solid waste disposal has created much public interest in the subject of degradable polymers and has led to some misconceptions as to how great a role these materials could play in solving the problem. Some people see these materials as the ideal solution whereby all plastics would magically disappear the instant their useful lives were over, and the entire waste disposal problem would be solved [l]. Politicians faced with the need to act on the issue find it easier to legislate degradability requirements than to set up the required infrastructure to deal with waste in a more productive way [l, 2]. Corn producers and others who see these laws creating new and larger markets for their products eagerly support these activities [l-4]. Thus there has been a flurry of activity in this area, with legislation forcing degradability in various products [5,6] and manufacturers hurrying to gain their share of these newly-formed markets.

摘要:

Modification of the properties of natural and synthetic polymers through graft copolymerization has been a subject of interest of researchers for the last few decades. Grafting reactions provide a potential route for significantly altering the physical, mechanical, and biochemical properties of such polymers [1, 2]. Grafting possesses great potential for tailoring material properties to specific end uses. The improvements in properties that have been achieved through grafting include improved dyeability, adhesion to a variety of substances, wash and wear rating, electrical conductance, bacteriocidal properties, settability, tensile properties, thermal stability, biocompatibility, etc.

摘要:

The term “functional polymers,” when used in the general sense [I], represents a very broad range of polymers embodying a variety of highly specific “chemical,” “physicochemical,” or “biophysical” functions as compared with the mechanical functions of the more commonly used polymeric materials. In such a broad sense. functional polymers include many types and varieties of chemical structure, morphology, and functionality. For example, a functional polymer may be reactive toward a specific or complementary substrate; it may inhibit, delay, or promote its own degradation; it may act as a catalyst, molecular carrier, or temporary (reversible) masking agent; it may possess photo or electric conductivity; or it may be medicinally active. biodegradable, or biocompatible.
