Microwave Irradiated Copolymerization of Xanthan Gum with Acrylamide for Colonic Drug Delivery

Xanthan gum (XG) is a polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris. The aim of the present study was to modify the xanthan by hydrolysis and grafting with acrylamide through microwave irradiation for different time intervals. Pure xanthan was partially hydrolyzed via enzymatic and chemical trea...
