Preparation and Characterisation of Sago Starch-Graftpoly(Acrylic Acid) and Sago Starch-Graft Poly(Methylacrylate)

Acrylic acid and methyl acrylate were grafted onto sago starch by usjng potassium persulphate as an initiator under nitrogen gas atmosphere. The graft yield showed dependence on amount of initiator, amount of monomer, reaction temperature and reaction period. For sago starch-g-poly(acrylic acid),...

The graft yield showed dependence on amount of initiator, amount of monomer, reaction temperature and reaction period.
