Initially, optimization of varied reaction parameters was performed under all the different reaction conditions. The synthesized networks were then characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, TGA/DTA, and XRD techniques. It has been found that the percent grafting varies with varying reaction conditions with maximum grafting (138 6 1.15%) reported in case of synthesis carried-out in-vacuum followed by the synthesis in-air (125 6 1.00%) and then in case of synthesis under the influence of c-radiations (124 6 1.15%).
