✦ Synopsis
Gelatin was graft copolymerized with poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate) and subsequently crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. Fibrin of bovine origin was incorporated onto this graft copolymer and characterized for the percentage of grafting. The infrared spectroscopy, mechanical strength, and water absorption capacity of the composite were also studied. This biomaterial can be used as a hemostat in many phases of surgery and as a wound dressing material.

## Abstract The aim of this study was to improve the toughness of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/glass fiber (GF) blends through the addition of ethylene–butyl acrylate–glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (EBAGMA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene–octene (POE‐__g__‐MAH) individuall
