Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A simple and efficient polymer grafting onto hydrothermal carbonization (HTC)‐derived materials is described. The method pertains to the Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction of furan moieties present on the surface of a HTC material with the maleimide groups stemming from a maleimide protected poly(ethylene glycol) (Me‐PEG‐MI) by a retro Diels‐Alder reaction. The precursor polymer, HTC material, and final product are characterized. Successful grafting is confirmed by elemental analysis, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dispersion studies.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh191m08xk" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
