Comparison of the Physicochemical Properties of Carboxymethyl Agar Synthesized by Microwave-Assisted and Conventional Methods
The microwave-assisted carboxymethylation of agar to improve its physicochemical properties was investigated. Microwave power, reaction time, and temperature, ethanol concentration, and amounts of chloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide were assessed for their effects on synthetic yield and degree of...
