Abstract:This research is on the manufacture of chitosan hydrogel crosslinked with malonic acid to be used as a soil conditioner for soybean plant (glycine max L. merrill). The aim of the study is to determine the effect of chitosan composition on malonic acid and the characteristics of hydrogel, and the effect of hydrogel as soil conditioner—its physical and chemical properties and role in soybean plant growth. Hydrogel of chitosan crosslinked malonic acid is carried out through a crosslinking chemical method. The inc… Show more
“…The modified products are useful as soil strengthening and conditioning agents, 33 separators in batteries, 34 colloidal stabilizers, 35 bio-analytical applications and many other biomedical applications such as drug delivery 36 and 3D-scaffold modification. 37 A key advantage of using malonic acid is that it is the shortest possible diacid having only one methylene which acts as a spacer and two carboxy groups each at the terminal end which are utilized for acylation.…”
