Description Moth bean starch was modified through microwave assisted synthesis using a very low concentration of
free radical initiator. Grafted copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis
(TGA). Swelling study was also performed at various temperatures to access its suitability in diverse
industrial application. Starch-grafted-acrylamide could be efficiently synthesized using a small concentration
of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in aqueous medium under microwave irradiation. The FT-IR
spectral analysis confirms group attachment on starch backbone. XRD and SEM studies confirmed more
crystalline structure, while TGA confirmed high thermal stability as compared to native starch. Starchg
acrylamide was successfully grafted and this novel biomaterial could be used in various industrial
applications like food, textile paper, petroleum and pharmaceutical.
