Preparation, optimization and swelling study of carboxymethyl sago starch (CMSS)–acid hydrogel

Abstract In this study, sago starch was modified in order to enhance its physicochemical properties. Carboxymethylation was used to introduce a carboxymethyl group into a starch compound. The carboxymethyl sago starch (CMSS) was used to prepare smart hydrogel by adding acetic acid into the CMSS powd...
