Xyloglucan, a water-soluble food grade polysaccharide, was reported as a substrate for graft copolymerization of Butyl Acrylate (BA). Grafting BA with Xyloglucan (XG) makes a new material with improved thermal stability, shelf life, adhesive properties and an improved sizing agent. XG was isolated from Tamarind seed mucilage by aqueous extraction. Grafting of BA was initiated by ceric ion in aqueous medium under N2 atmosphere and the progress of the reaction was monitored gravimetrically by varying different reaction parameters. Grafting of BA onto XG was confirmed by FTIR Spectroscopy, Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). This grafted material might find potential to be used as coatings for non-woven binders and a sizing agent.
