Synthesis and adsorption study of acrylamide grafted soybean copolymer.

Copolymerization is a cooperative polymerization that involves two or more different monomers that are incorporated into the same polymer chain. It allows the development of unlimited range of polymers, tunable properties and surface modifications. In this study, the oil-free base treated soybean waste was used as a biomass precursor and it was copolymerized with acrylamide through the free radical polymerization with potassium persulfate as initiator.
