xiii, 34 p. : ill. ; 30 cm. + 1 CD-ROM Polyacrylicamide-graft-oil palm Empty Fruit Bunch (PAM-g-EFB) SAP was synthesized using graft copolymerization method of acrylicamide (AM) monomer onto EFB backbone with ammonium persulphate (APS) as an initiator and N’N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker to assist the process. Determination of water absorbency was tested using tea bag method after immersed in distilled water. The effects on amount of initiator, cross-linker and filler towards water absorbency were studied to determine the optimum condition of EFB-g-PAM SAP. The maximum water absorbency was 263g/g, 223g/g and 250g/g when the optimum condition for initiator (APS), crosslinker (MBA) and filler (EFB) were at 10wt%, respectively. The characterization of the EFB-g-PAM SAP was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy while thermal stability was indicate using TGA. specialized Norhazwani Mat Sudin Project paper (Bachelor of Chemical Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2012 Bibliography : p. 31 -33 Acrylic resins Sorbents Polymerization THE0004935(Local) UMP 121122 20251114204529.0 vtls000066802
