1.5 Conclusions
Desirable and targeted properties can be imparted to the polysaccharides through
polymer grafting in order to meet out the requirement of specialised applications.
Polymer grafting is a clean and convenient method for altering the properties of
numerous polymer backbones. Polysaccharide-based graft copolymers have got
diversified properties and can be used for various applications.
