Abstract
Abstract:
A natural and renewable substrate for the synthesis of high-performance macromolecules
is polysaccharides. Grafting with the use of microwaves of synthetic polymers
onto natural polysaccharides is a common, adaptable, and practical method of creating materials
based on polysaccharides. It eliminates all drawbacks of the traditional grafting
technique, including the need for hazardous solvents and longer reaction times. Grafting
yield is also increased by microwave irradiation. In fact, the employment of microwaves in
polysaccharide grafting modification for diverse applications has been prompted by the
growing interest in clean and environment-friendly chemistry. Furthermore, compared with
their traditionally synthesized counterparts, microwave-synthesized polysaccharide copolymers
frequently have greater characteristics for commercial exploitation. Moreover, for
many traditional grafting processes, the necessity for an inert environment is an additional drawback, which can
be overcome by microwave grafting techniques. This study focuses on the current use of microwave heating in
polysaccharide grafting modifications and its further use in pharmaceutical formulations.
