What is the significance of vinyl butyl ether (VBE) in the graft copolymerization process?

Label:chem

Topic
Vinyl butyl ether (VBE) is used in combination with butyl acrylate (BA) to form graft copolymers with cod collagen. The study investigates the properties of the resulting copolymer.
Answer
Vinyl butyl ether (VBE) is significant because it copolymerizes with butyl acrylate (BA) to form an alternating copolymer structure. This structure enhances the mechanical stability of the resulting graft copolymer compared to polybutylacrylate (PBA) alone. Additionally, VBE polymers are known for their medicinal healing properties, which contribute to the biocompatibility of the copolymer for regenerative medicine applications.
