Abstract

Poly(methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) copolymer particles abbreviated as P(MMA-AA-EGDM) copolymer particles were prepared by soap-free emulsion copolymerization. The concentration of carboxyl group on/near the surface of particles increased with the increase in acrylic acid (AA) content in the recipe. The carboxyl groups were reacted with amine nucleophiles such ethylene diamine and 1,6-diaminohexane through preactivation with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide as a coupling agent. The modified particles were characterized by electron micrographs and FTIR spectral analysis. Adsorption behaviours of some biomolecules were measured to have idea about=-0 the polarity of the particles surface
