Synthesis and characterization of maleic anhydride grafted chitosan
-
Abstract
The graft-copolymer was synthesized by grafting maleic anhydride onto chitosan with cerium ammonium nitrate as initiator.The fixed concentration of initiator was 1.5mmol/L,the optimum reaction conditions for the synthesis of graft-copolymer were determined by means of orthogonal experimental design.The conditions were as follows:the reaction temperature and time were 90℃ and 3h,the monomers mole ratio of chitosan and maleic anhydride was 1:2,pH=6,and the polymer was verified by IR and UV spectrum.
