Abstract
Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic graft polymer brushes are sy nthesized by grafting polyacrylic acid and/or polymethyl methacrylate onto gelatin granules crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. The ability of these brushes to selectively imbibe a solvent from immiscible pairs of solvents is demonstrated. The enhanced solvent mopping ability of the lipophilic and amphiphilic brushes from mixed solvent systems is inte rpreted through modified solvent interaction parameters.
