Fatty acid starch esters are potential candidates for novel biodegradable plastics. This work describes a systematic study on the synthesis of starch laurate using sago starch and vinyl laurate (VL…
Tunable and selective hydrogenation of the platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into valuable C6 building blocks and liquid fuel additives is achieved with copper-doped porous metal oxides …
Noble-metal-free copper–zinc nanoalloy (
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…
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 …
