How does butyl acrylate (BA) contribute to the formation of graft copolymers with cod collagen?

Label:chem

Topic
Butyl acrylate (BA) is one of the synthetic monomers used in the study to modify cod collagen. The graft copolymerization involves the introduction of BA and vinyl butyl ether (VBE) onto the collagen macromolecules.
Answer
Butyl acrylate (BA) contributes to the formation of graft copolymers by reacting with the radicals generated from triethylborane (TEB). It forms a copolymer with vinyl butyl ether (VBE) in an alternating structure, which is then grafted onto the collagen macromolecules. This grafting process enhances the mechanical stability and biocompatibility of the resulting copolymer.
