Abstract
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was separated from the whole blood of fresh ly slaughtered animals. This BSA was graft copolymerized with poly (2- hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and characterized. The infrared spectroscop y, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and perce ntage of grafting of the composites were studied. The graft copolymers have better physicochemical properties and, therefore, could be more useful in their field of application.
