Functionalized polymers are macromolecules to which chemically bound functional groups are attached which can be used as catalysts, reagents, protective groups, etc. Functionalized polymers have low cost, ease of processing and attractive features for functional organic molecules. ...

What is a functionalized material?

Functionalization is the process of adding new functions, features, capabilities, or properties to a material by changing the surface chemistry of the material. It is a fundamental technique used throughout chemistry, materials science, biological engineering, textile engineering, and nanotechnology.

What do you mean by functional polymers?

Functional polymers are macromolecules that have unique properties or uses.1,2. The. properties of such materials are often determined by the presence of chemical. functional groups that are dissimilar to those of the backbone chains.
