Introduction
Why UV
High Graft Yield
Efficient use of materials (low
homopolymer under right circumstances)
Mild Effect relative to chemical initiation
methods
Simple processing
Cost effective
Water-based options
3
Experimental
• Materials
• CMS, laboratory prepared
• Acrylic Acid(AA), Ethanol, and4 trimethyl
ammonium methyl benzophenone chloride
(photoinitiator) was laboratory Grade.
• Water: distilled
• UV source, Philips lamp, 125 w/inch, medium
pressure.

Preparation of Poly(acrylic acid)- CMS
Sample handling
Grafting
Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS) [prepared from
Native Starch (NS)], DS=0.2, [-COOH] = 115
mmole/100g CMS and η= 158 mPa s.
CMS was in the form COONa.
Photoinitiator (PI) dissolved in the required amount
of water.
CMS added gradually under continuous stirring
and left till completely soluble.
Acrylic Acid (AA) added gradually under
continuous stirring and left for 10 min.
5
Mixture was transferred to a photochemical reactor
and subjected to UV source under gentle stirring
for known time periods.
Reaction stopped.
Homopolymer separated from the graft copolymer.
6
Analysis
All samples monitored for Total Conversion percent
(TC%) of Acrylic Acid and for their Carboxyl
Content (-COOH, mmole/100g CMS)
Selected samples monitored by:
SEM
Thermal Analysis (DSC)
IR spectroscopy
7
Reaction Mechanism
PI exited state
PI operated by H-abstraction from this exited state.
PI designed to bind to starch, i.e. H-abstraction
involves starch.
Radicales formation by C----H homolytic cleavage on
starch backbone.
Grafting occurs at the radical centers.
Little homopolymerization since the bulk of the PI is
on the starch polymer chain.
