Synthesis & characterization of novel MIP with RAFT polymerization of (2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate)/chitosan as a nanocarrier for drug delivery applications.

The primary function of the drug delivery system is to transfer various drugs to certain parts of the body. The drug is transferred reliably in the molecularity imprinted system, based on adjusting the drug release mechanism to control the drug amount and treatment duration. Molecular Imprinting Technology can provide an efficient polymer system to detect bioactive molecules and has high adsorption capacity as drug delivery carriers.

Fabrication of novel magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposites for selective adsorption of mercury from aqueous solutions.

In this work, a novel functionalized graphene oxide (GO) was used as an effective and selective adsorbent for removal of mercury (Hg). The magnetic nanocomposite adsorbent (MNA) based on GO was prepared through surface reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer copolymerization of acrylic monomers and then the formation of FeO nanoparticles. The structure of MNAs was characterized by using FTIR, SEM, TEM, VSM, XRD, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms.

Synthesis of stimuli-responsive chitosan nanocomposites via RAFT copolymerization for doxorubicin delivery.

In this study, a unique stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposite was prepared via surface reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of acrylic acid and N‑isopropyl acrylamide onto chitosan and subsequent in situ synthesis of magnetic FeO nanoparticles. In the next age, the structure and morphology of synthetic magnetic nanocomposite were characterized by FTIR, XRD, VSM, SEM, and TEM techniques. The modified hydrogel nanocomposite was employed as an excellent carrier for controlled releasing of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX).

Preparation of novel multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite adsorbent via RAFT technique for the adsorption of toxic copper ions.

In the present work, polymer-coated multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was prepared via RAFT method. First, a novel trithiocarbonate-based RAFT agent was prepared attached chemically into the surface of MWCNT. In addition, the RAFT co-polymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide monomers was conducted through the prepared RAFT agent.

Synthesis of magnetic functionalized MWCNT nanocomposite through surface RAFT co-polymerization of acrylic acid and N-isopropyl acrylamide for removal of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions.

In this study, magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotube (MMWCNT) composites were prepared via surface reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) co-polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) in the presence of FeO nanoparticles. First, a novel RAFT agent (RA) was prepared and then immobilized onto the surface of MWCNT to fabricate RA-g-MWCNT. Then, FeO nanoparticles were attached onto the surface of RA-g-MWCNT.
