Bacterial cellulose-chitosan membrane grafted with theophylline-imprinted copolymer by free radical copolymerization

In this research, benzyl diethyldithiocarbamate was immobilized on a bacterial cellulose-chitosan membrane via a silane coupler. This treated membrane was grafted with theophylline-imprinted copolymer of methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate by ultraviolet irradiation. The highest degr...
