Preparation of Functional Polymer-Grafted Cellulose through Azide Alkyne Cycloaddition or C–C Cross-Coupling

Cellulose-based materials have the potential as raw materials if functional groups could be effectively coupled onto them. And, in fact, the most convenient method is directly grafting certain chemical groups with optoelectronic or special geometry onto cellulose substrate through chemical reactions. Utilizing these “grafting-to” or “grafting-from” tech, we could easily endow cellulose derivatives with new functions.
