Synthesis and Characterization of CMC-g-Polyacrylamide Graft Copolymers for Enhanced Water Retention

Abstract

This research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of carboxymethylcellulose-grafted polyacrylamide (CMC-g-PAAm) copolymers for improved water retention properties. The study investigates the effects of grafting conditions (e.g., initiator concentration, monomer ratio) on copolymer properties and their potential applications in water retention and soil conditioning.
