Modifikasi selulosa dengan teknik pencangkokan dan penautan silang menggunakan akrilamida
Abstract
Modification of cellulose was carried out by grafting and crosslinking copolymerization using acrylamide as monomer, N,N’-methylene-bis-acrylamide as crosslinker, and ammonium peroxydisulfate as initiator. The chemical structure of monomer will affect the properties of modified cellulose such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic characters, elasticity, ion exchange capability, absorptivity, and heat resistance. Infrared spectra showed that cellulose has been modified. It could be seen from C=O streching absorption at 1650 cm-1 and –NH2 streching at 3182.55 cm-1. Both absorption peaks indicated that grafting and crosslinking had been carried out. Modified product had been 31–50% grafted. The final product also weighed 69 times higher than its initial weight with percentage of absorbed water to initial sample weight of 6755% after for 24 hours and became 93 times and 9187%, respectively, after 48 hours.
