Preparation of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene-g-Poly(Acrylic Acid)-Co-Starch Hydrogel

Abstract:

In this work, a type of hydrogel from waste linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), acrylic acid (AA), and starch was prepared using N, N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker, and benzoyl peroxide as the initiator. The hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results confirmed the incorporation of acrylic acid and starch in the LLDPE chain. SEM results show that the prepared hydrogel has a porous structure. Product showed maximum water absorbency of 180 g/g in distilled water.
