Abstract:Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GLYTAC) is an efficient quaternizing reagent, easy to synthesize, and causes lesser degradation to the polymer backbone than other reagents. Quaternization of guar gum was carried out using condensate of trimethylamine and epichlorohydrin as etherifying reagents adopting Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array design of experiment to optimize the reaction conditions to attain a higher degree of substitution (DS). The set of optimized levels of selected control factors are as follows; … Show more
