Starch-g-Copolymers: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polysaccharide Based Graft Copolymers

Abstract

Starch is one of the cheapest and most abundant natural carbohydrate biopolymers and is compatible with hydrocolloids and other water-soluble polymers. Therefore, it can be an effective component in multifunctional systems. To impart end use specific properties, starch is often modified. Chemical modification of starch by grafting various monomers onto it has been found attractive to impart desirable properties to starch without sacrificing its biological nature. Graft copolymerisation is one way to introduce biodegradability and improved properties to a polymer. Usually graft copolymerisation reactions are carried out by free radical initiated polymerisation reaction and in the literature different types of initiating systems are reported. Depending upon the type of monomers and the conditions employed the properties of the starch-graft-copolymers vary to a large extent. In this chapter, the various techniques used for the synthesis of starch-graft-copolymers, their properties and possible end uses are discussed in detail.
