ABSTRACT
Ammonium persulfate (APS)-initiated
grafting of methacrylamide (MAM) onto chitosan was successfully
prepared for the first time by free radical mechanism. Both
chitosan and chitosan-graft-poly(methacrylamide) (chitosan-g-PMAM)
were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(FTIR),
solid state 13C NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). Important factors affecting graft copolymerization
such as reaction time, temperature and concentrations of APS,
MAM
and chitosan were investigated and optimized to
obtain maximum grafting parameters. The optimum values for grafting
percentage and yield of graft copolymerization were achieved
under the following conditions: chitosan (1 g), MAM (4
g), APS (0.6 g), time reaction (4 h) and temperature (70ºC).
Keywords: Ammonium persulfate;

ABSTRAK
Cangkukan metakrilamida (MAM)
kepada kitosan dimulakan oleh ammonium persulfat (APS)
telah berjaya disediakan buat kali pertama melalui mekanisme
radikal bebas. Kedua-dua kitosan dan kitosan-cangkuk-polimetakrilamida
(kitosan-g-PMAM)
telah dicirikan menggunakan spektrometri inframerah transformasi
Fourier (FTIR),

masa tindak balas, suhu dan kepekatan APS, MAM dan
kitosan telah dikaji dan dioptimum bagi memperoleh parameter
cangkukan maksima. Peratus cangkukan dan perolehan tertinggi
diperoleh dengan keadaan berikut: kitosan (1 g), MAM (4 g), APS (0.6
g), masa tindak balas (4 j) dan suhu (70ºC).
