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

Effects of monomer concentration,...With potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator, graft copolymerization of ethyl acrylate (EA) onto water-soluble hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was investigated in aqueous medium. Effects of monomer concentration, initiator concentration, matrix concentration, and reaction temperature on the percentage of grafting (G) and grafting efficiency (G_E) were studied. The results show that G and G_E values both increase with the the increase of EA concentration and KPS concentration; when raising HPMC concentration from 0.12 mmol/L to 0.47 mmol/L, G decreases, while G_E increases;and when raising reaction temperature from 50 ℃ to 65 ℃,G increases, but G_E decreases. In addition, the graft copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods.展开更多

The graft copolymerization of acrylamide （ AM ） / acrylic acid （ AA ） onto starch （ St- g-pAA and St-g-p（AA-co-AM） ） was carried out using an orthngonal test method.

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
