The structures of poly(MA)-g-starch and poly(EA)-g-starch were characterized by IR, SEM and X-ray diffraction. Experimental results show that KPS-STS is an efficient initiation system for grafting of MA and EA onto corn starch. The maximum percent grafting was obtained at [KPS] of 6.0× 10~3 mol/L, [STS] of 1.8× 10 5 mol/L, [M] of 6. 0× 101 mol/L, S:L=4:100 at 40℃ for 6 h. The reactivity order is MA>EA.展开更多

The effects of monomer concentration, initiator K2 S2 O8 concentration, cross-linker concentration, reaction temperature and the concentration ratio of RE and K2 S2O8 on the graft copolymerization were studied in terms of the water absorption capacity of superabsorbents. Results indicate that the optimum conditions obtained for the grafting of AA onto 5g starch are as follows: AA of 75. 773 g/L, K2S20s of 0. 437 g/L, RE of 0. 874 g/L, cross-linker of 0. 381 g/L and temperature of 70 ℃. The maximum water absorption capacity obtained is 740 g/g. The new method of graft polymerization is easily proceeded and controlled. The graft copolymers were characterized by infra-red spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and TG. Results characterized by IR and SEM give strong evidence for grafting of AA onto corn starch, and those characterized by TG reveal that the grafting of AA improves the theimostability of corn starch.展开更多

Grafted starch used as a compatibilizer for the blend system of starch and polyethylene was further investigated. The results indicate that grafted starch as a compatibilizer can improve the mechanical properties and rheologic properties of the blend of starch and polyethylene.展开更多

The experimental results show that the maximum grafting degree of starch can reach 75% when the starch-g-lactic acid copolymer is activated at 80 ℃ for 2 h and reacted with lactic acid at 90 ℃ for 4 h in vacuum.展开更多

The combined effects of different reaction conditions on the water absorbency of the graft copolymers were optimized through mathematical statistical methods of range and square variance analysis. The maximum water absorbency was obtained when the ratio of dried starch to distilled water was 1 : 8 ( w/w ), the ratio of starch to monomer 1 : 6 ( w/w ), the initiator concentration 4.40 × 10^-3 mol/L, the crosslinker concentration 10.86 × 10^-2 mol/L, and the basicity to AA 0. 70( mol/mol ). Both the graft copolymers have an excellent water absorption capacity in distilled water aact in 0. 9wt% NaCl solution. It was also found that in distilled water the water absorbency of St-g-pAA was higher than that of St-g-p( AA-co-AM) , while in 0.9wt% NaCl solution, the situation was just the reverse. The correlation between the water absorbeacy anct the nature of the solution anct the properties of the copolymers, which is related to the properties of the monomers, was discussed. The grafting of AA ancl AM onto starch was confirmed by the IR spectra of St-g-pAA and St-g-p( AA-co-AM).展开更多
