| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to synthesize grafted Bacterial Cellulose (BC) nanofibers using Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) reinforced into poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogel matrix. Nanofibers grafting polymerizations were conducted in the presence of the catalyst CuCl/CuBr and the initiator 2-bromoisobutyrylbromide (2-BiBr). Degrees of substitution (DS) of BC-macroinitiators were quantified using both elemental analysis and gravimetric method. FTIR results confirmed BC nanofibers’ surface modifications of both initiator and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) grafts. X-ray spectroscopy further confirmed the increase in carbonyl content after PHEMA-grafting polymerization. Results of the gravimetric analysis showed an increase in the weight of the grafted BC upon increasing reaction time. Furthermore, the change in the swelling ratio percentages of the reinforced composites product (BC-MI-3-g-PHEMA-1.5) was considerably higher based on reaction time. Slight increase in the swelling ratio of BC-MI-3 nanofibers was observed after 48 hours to reach 31 %. Moreover, results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that decomposition temperature at 50 % weight loss (T$_{50}$) decreased to 350 °C for BC-MI-3-g-PHEMA-1.5. These characteristics demonstrate potentials for applications in the biomedical fields including drug delivery and wound care. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
