Morphological study of Superabsorbent polymer hydrogels from sago starch

This paper comprises of the characterizations of superabsorbent polymer hydrogels based on sago starch (SS) prepared via graft copolymerization method with acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of ammonium persulphate (APS) and N, N-metylenebisacrylamide. The morphology of sago-g-acrylic (SAG) was ev...
