Graft copolymerization of sodium salt of partially carboxymethylated guar gum with methyl methacrylate: An examination of the reaction variables

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto sodium salt of partially carboxymethylated guar gum (Na-PCMGG; degree of substitution ϭ 0.497) with ceric ammonium nitrate as a redox initiator in an aqueous medium was studied. The optimized reaction conditions affording the maximum percentage of grafting of MMA onto Na-PCMGG were determined through the variation of the concentrations of nitric acid, ceric ammonium nitrate, MMA, and Na-PCMGG and of the temperature and time. The effects of t… Show more

“…1 indicated esterification by the emergence of a peak at 1735-1750 cm -1 attributed to C=O stretching, indicating the presence of the acetyl group. The peak observed for GG at 1650 cm -1 has been attributed to the hydration of the GG molecule 25 . On acetylation this peak was seen to decrease and in the case of AGG (0.56) the peak was not resolved from that of the C=O group.…”

“…The reaction conditions led to a reduction in the molecular weight of the polymer molecules, as reflected by the reduced solution viscosity of the HPGs in Table I. It has been shown that as the molecular weight of a polymer is decreased, its degradability increased 21, 22. The propoxylation of GG has the effect of increasing the hydrophobic character of the polymer; alkoxylation has been reported to alter degradation characteristics of various compounds 23.…”
