Graft polymerization of acrylic monomers onto starch fractions. IV. Effect of reaction time on the grafting of butyl acrylate onto amylose

Abstract
Studies were carried out on the grafting of butyl acrylate (BA) to amylose by the ceric ion method. After removing the homo‐PBA with THF and toluene, and the ungrafted amylose with 0.5NNaOH, the PBA content of the graft copolymers was determined by acid hydrolysis with 1N HCl. The influence of reaction time on the grafting yields was determined and the largest values were: 82% for the grafting efficiency, 246% for the percent grafting, 62% for the grafted amylose, 48% for the grafted PBA, and 64% for the total conversion.
