Chitosan and Starch-Based Hydrogels Via Graft Copolymerization
No full textGraft copolymerization is an attractive method for surface functionalization of natural polymers and can be
initiated by chemical methods, radiation technique, and other systems. Polymer grafting onto
polysaccharides is an effective method for the synthesis of superabsorbents. Depending upon the type of
monomers and the conditions employed the properties of graft copolymers vary to a large extent. Chitosan
is a nontoxic, biocompatible polysaccharide, and starch is a natural hydrophilic biopolymer. Both these are
most abundant natural organic materials which are extensively investigated in the development of
biodegradable and environment-friendly materials. Their hydrogels are of utmost importance for wide use
in many fields including structural transplants, target drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensors,
adsorbents, etc. In this chapter, the various techniques used for the synthesis of chitosan/starch graft
copolymers, their properties and possible applications are discussed in detail

Ethnobotany and Construction of a Tongan Voyaging Canoe: The Kalia Mileniume
Get PDFresearchConstruction of the world’s largest existing double hulled voyaging canoe, the 108 foot Tongan Kalia Mileniume, was completed in August 2000. The kalia was documented on three research trips. Tuione Pulotu, master chainsaw artist and canoe builder designed the canoe and proposed the project to the Tongan government as a celebration for the New Millennium. This ethnobotanical study documented canoe architecture and plant species used for the Kalia Mileniume, as well as for voyaging canoes of the past. Construction procedures were recorded through series photography, digital video, and interviews with the builders. Detailed measurements were taken of the final product. As near as one can judge authenticity of a reproduced cultural artifact, the Kalia Mileniume was a successful recreation
