Studies on Effective Parameters onto Graft Copolymerization of Acrylic Acid onto Alginate

摘要

The polysaccharide, alginate, has been chemically modified by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid in an aqueous medium using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator under argon atmosphere. The synthetic conditions were systematically optimized through studying the influential factors including temperature, concentration of the initiator, AcA monomer and alginate substrate.
