Graft copolymers of starch with acrylic acid are a promising green, bio based material with many potential applications. The grafting of acrylic acid onto cassava starch in an aqueous medium initia…
The graft copolymerization of cassava starch with acrylic acid was investigated using a free radical initiator system (Fe2+/H2O2 redox system) in water. A comprehensive understanding of the importa…
An important application of starch grafted with copolymers from unsaturated organic acids is the use as water absorbent. Although much research has been published in recent years, the kinetics of …
