Zusammenfassung: | A novel class of materials and processes used in their preparation are described. These materials are comprised of man-made polymers grafted onto protein backbone, specifically onto protein backbone, which has been selectively modified to be used as adhesives, coatings and construction materials. Man-made polymers can be selected from a group including condensation polymers such as phenolics, epoxides, polyamides, thiols, or addition polymers such as acrylics, vinyls and polyolefins. Grafting can be accomplished either stepwise or from already preformed polymers. Grafts can also be formed with more than one polymer either after the first graft is formed or simultaneously. Furthermore grafts can be formed onto a modified or unmodified protein whose backbone has been reduced to a polyamine. |
