Natural herbs alternatively, are more appealing for pharmaceutical applications owing to their biocompatibility, low cost, biodegradability, chemical modification and necessary surface qualities but there are some drawbacks like microbial degradation, low solubility, and stability issues etc... Grafting of synthetic polymer onto natural polymers can introduce desired properties by the use of different techniques of grafting method. The yield of grafting increases in microwave assisted grafting method as compared to conventional grafting. The objective of this abstract is to spotlight the recent advances and modifications of natural herb polymer modification and its applications in pharmaceutical industries.
