The Fur grafted PECH was subjected to drug release study at three different pHs from which the drug release model and mechanism were determined. The structurally modified PECH exhibited the SO 2 stretching at 1121?cm ?1 . The 1 H-NMR spectrum confirmed the chemical grafting of Fur onto PECH backbone. After the chemical grafting reaction, the M w of PECH was increased to 73,216?g/mol. The drug release under acid pH followed the super case transportation mechanism.
