Author:Mittal, H; Maity, Arjun; Ray, SSDate:Aug 2015Biodegradable hydrogels of gum ghatti (Gg) with a co-polymer mixture of acrylamide (AAm) and methacrylic acid (MAA) (termed as Gg-cl-P(AAm-co-MAA)) were synthesised by microwave-assisted free radical graft co-polymerisation technique. The ...Read more
Author:Mittal, H; Jindal, R; Kaith, BS; Maity, Arjun; Ray, SSDate:Jan 2015This study reports the microwave-assisted synthesis of gum-ghatti (Gg)-grafted poly(acrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (AAm-co-MAA) hydrogels for the development of biodegradable flocculants and adsorbents. The synthesized hydrogels were ...Read more
Author:Mittal, H; Jindal, R; Kaith, BS; Maity, Arjun; Ray, SSDate:Dec 2014This article reports the development of biodegradable flocculants based on graft co-polymers of gum ghatti (Gg) and a mixture of acrylamide and acrylonitrile co-monomers (AAm-co-AN). The hydrogel polymer exhibited an excellent swelling capacity ...Read more
