Preparation and characterization of starch grafted with methacrylamide using ammonium persulphate initiator

In this study, methacrylamide (MAA) was successfully grafted with starch by simple free radical polymerization technique using ammonium persulphate (APS) initiator. Reaction conditions were examined. The highest percentage grafting of 351.60% was found to be best at 1:4 starch:methacrylamide weight...
