Grafting of glycidylmethacrylate onto demineralized xenogeneic bone in aqueous medium

Demineralized xenogeneic bone (DXB) was prepared from bovine cortical tibia and graft copolymerized with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) using a combination of potassium persulfate (K2S208) and sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5)as redox initiating system in aqueous medium. To optimize the reaction condition, the concentrations of backbone, monomer, initiator, temperature and time were varied. The percent grafting was found to increase initially and...
