ABSTRACT:

In this article, we synthesized of a novel graft copolymer of gelatin-based via radical polymerization mixtures of Acrylamide (AAm) and 2-Acrylamido-2-methyl propan solfonic acid (AMPS) onto gelatin backbones. The polymerization reaction was carried out in an aqueous medium and in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. The graft copolymer structures were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy Gelatin and the graft copolymer as well as solubility characteristics of the products.. The effect of grafting variables, i.e. AAm/AMPS weight ratio and concentration of APS, and Gelatin and temperature was systematically optimized to achieve a highest percent grafting possible.
