Starch–maleate–polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels with controllable swelling behaviors

Starch–maleate–polyvinyl alcohol (SMP) hydrogels were prepared by reacting polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with maleic acid (MA) substituted sago starch (SS). The substitution of MA and PVA onto the polysaccharide chain of sago starch was evidenced by the FTIR spectra which showed the presence of the carbon...
