Utilization of Cassava Starch in Copolymerisation of Superabsorbent Polymer Composite (SAPC)

Cassava starch was used as the main chain in the copolymerization of a superabsorbent polymer composite (SAPC) based on acrylic acid and bentonite. The SAPC was synthesized through graft polymerization using nano-sized bentonite as reinforcement. The variables in this experiment were: bentonite conc...
