Synthesis of a biocopolymer carrageenan-g-poly(AAm-co-IA)/ montmorilonite superabsorbent hydrogel composite
A novel superabsorbent hydrogel composite based on kappa-carrageenan (κC) has been prepared via graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and itaconic acid (IA) monomers in the presence of montmorolonite clay powder, methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinking agent and ammonium persu...
