IMPROVE THE NATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYSACCHARIDES BY GRAFTING THROUGH THE GAMMA RADIATION: A REVIEW

Deepak kumar

Abstract


Polysaccharides are bio-degradable, inexpensive and easily available from consistent agricultural resources. Polysaccharides and their derivatives represent a group of polymer widely used in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. The biodegradability of natural polymers reduces their shelf life. Grafting copolymerization technique is a most effective fascinating way for chemical modification of native characteristics of polysaccharides with maximum possibilities for improving the properties of polysaccharides and enhanced the range of exploitation.

While the major difficulty facing us during synthesizing a graft copolymers reaction, is the lack of commercial methods of synthesis and lower percent graft yield. It is well known that the most important methods of synthesis engage the employ of chemical free radical initiator i.e. conventional based methods. Graft copolymerization through γ-radiation method is a better method of grafting in comparison to a chemical method and exhibits a great potential to synthesize the graft copolymers by virtue of its higher efficiency, low cost, higher thermal stability as well as enhanced the yield of the graft copolymer. Future prospective of irradiation technique would be significant impacts to develop of polymerization.
