Photo-crosslinkable plant-based materials, methods of manufacture thereof and articles comprising the same

Abstract

A biomaterial composition includes an uncrosslinked plant-based biomaterial functionalized with reactive groups that are operative to undergo a crosslinking reaction via free radical polymerization. A method for producing a biomaterial composition includes functionalizing an uncrosslinked plant-based biomaterial with reactive groups that are operative to undergo a crosslinking reaction via free radical polymerization to form a functionalized uncrosslinked plant-based biomaterial. Additional embodiments are provided.
