TL;DR: Graft copolymerization of 2-Hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on to chitosan was studied using cerium (IV) as the initiator as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Graft copolymerization of 2-Hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on to chitosan was studied using cerium (IV) as the initiator. Optimization of the grafting was worked out by varying the reaction time and monomer concentration. Under controlled conditions, up to 685% grafting with a grafting yield of 92.4% was achieved. FTIR, thermal and XRD techniques were used to confirm the formation of the grafted copolymer. Grafting caused a marginal decrease in the mechanical strength in the dry conditions and a significant decrease under wet conditions for the resultant polymer. The products showed significantly improved swelling at pH 7.4 and pH 1.98 compared to the original chitosan. Grafted polymer showed enhanced Tg and decomposition temperature. The grafting also resulted in improved hydrophilicity as is evident from the contact angle studies of the films.

TL;DR: In this article, the diallyl ethers of bisphenol A (APP), 4,4′-dihydroxy biphenyl (ABP), and bisphensol sulfone (ABS) were synthesized and the kinetics of their thermal rearrangement to the Diallyl Bisphenols were studied by DSC, showing that the rearrangements are disfavoured by the electron-withdrawing substituent and favored by electron-releasing groups at the para position of the allyloxy group.
