Abstract:Abstract:The present paper reports the modification of guar gum through the grafting of 2-acrylamidoglycolic acid by free radical polymerization using an efficient potassium peroxydiphosphate/thioacetamide redox system in nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction conditions for maximum grafting have been optimized by varying the reaction variables including the concentration of 2-acrylamidoglycolic acid (5.3×10-2 mol dm ), guar gum (1 g dm −3 ) along with time duration (150 min) and temperature (35°C).
