Preparation and Characterization of Superabsorbent Polymers Based on Starch Aldehydes and Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Abstract: Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers that are capable of absorbing large amounts of water. Commercial SAPs are mostly produced with acrylic acid that cannot be easily biodegraded. Therefore, in this study, polysaccharide-based SAPs using carboxymethyl cellulose as a major component were prepared. Starch aldehydes and citric acid were selected due to their environment-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable properties compared to conventional crosslinking agents. Starch aldehydes w… Show more

“…The intensities of all characteristic bands decreased after the polymerization process, which proves that the copolymerization between AA and starch was successful [ 38 ]. A remarkable change in FTIR spectra of starch-based copolymers was the appearance of the peak at 1700–1728 cm −1 , which is regarded to C=O vibrations in aldehyde groups [ 39 ].…”

“…There are many functional healing agents such as liquid metal alloys and polymers etc. For example, SEM images of polyurethane (PU) microcapsules are shown in Figure b. The surface of microcapsules was smooth, homogeneous and continuous, and a disrupted microcapsule demonstrated the hollow inner core (Figure c).…”
