Sk. Rath et Rp. Singh, ON THE CHARACTERIZATION OF GRAFTED AND UNGRAFTED STARCH, AMYLOSE, ANDAMYLOPECTIN, Journal of applied polymer science, 70(9), 1998, pp. 1795-1810
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
