Nature has gifted mankind with precious resources on earth. A major part of the earth provides us with renewable biomass that mostly degrades with time. Graft copolymerization is a chemical technique to improve the properties of the waste biomass and to modify its properties while sustaining the inherent trait. With the advancement of science and research many efforts have been made to modify the techniques. This review explores a brief overview of this magnificent engineering, its techniques and characterization that has helped to provide with outstanding results for better scientific and industrial achievements.
