Highlights
The prepared aminated chitosan (AmCS) was Aminated chitosan; poly (butyl acrylate); Graft copolymer; Oil adsorption
The results obtained clearly suggested that the developed aminated chitosan (AmCS)-poly (ButA) graft copolymer could be applied as a new low-cost oil adsorbent material for marine oil spill cleanup technologies
Increasing the concentration of butyl acrylate (ButA) monomers from 10 to 20 ml decreases the grafting efficiency (GE%) from 86 to 74%, this could be due to increasing the divisor value
Summary
The prepared AmCS was Aminated chitosan; poly (butyl acrylate); Graft copolymer; Oil adsorption. Contact angle The hydrophobic/hydrophilic and oleophilic characters of AMCS and AmCS-poly (ButA) graft copolymers were investigated as shown in Fig. 7 and Table 2 using water and crude oil droplets based on wettability measurements.
