Abstract
Graft copolymers of polyacrylamide with starch, amylose, and amylopect in have been synthesized using ceric-ion-induced redox initiation tech nique. The polymers were characterized using different instrumental te chniques like thermal, XRD, SEM, IR, NMR, and elemental analysis. The results indicated that there is a substantial amount of grafting with minimum formation of homopolyacrylamide. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, I nc.
