The optimal synthesis conditions have been determined and studies have been carried out on the effect of the molar ratios of the starting materials on the water absorption of the synthesized hydrogel. In the course of research, the optimum copolymerization temperature was 60 °C, and the reaction time was 3 hours. As a result of the study, a hydrogel was synthesized with a starch: acrylamide: bentonite ratio of 10 : 9 : 0.8, respectively. The resulting hydrogel was investigated by IR spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis. The influence of the molecular ratios of starch and acrylamide, as well as the concentration of the initiator, binder and bentonite, affecting the degree of swelling of the synthesized hydrogel, has been studied","PeriodicalId":15270,"journal":{"name":"journal of chemistry and chemical engineering","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78821667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
