- Abstract
The article discusses a study that synthesized water-insoluble cassava starch-graft-poly(acrylonitrile) using potassium persulphate (PPS) initiator. The reaction conditions were optimized for maximum grafting to develop prediction models in terms of reaction conditions. The structural and functional characteristics were determined to characterize the graft polymers. Findings show high thermal stability in the grafted starches.
