Synthesis and swelling behaviour of oil palm empty fruit bunch based superabsorbent polymer composite

Synthesis and swelling behaviour of oil palm empty fruit bunch based superabsorbent polymer composite

Polyacrylicamide-graft-oil palm Empty Fruit Bunch (PAM-g-EFB) SAP was synthesized using graft copolymerization method of acrylicamide (AM) monomer onto EFB backbone with ammonium persulphate (APS) as an initiator and N’N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker to assist the process. Determinat...
