Abstract

Polymer‐polymer interaction was used for the preparation of graft polymers of polyethylene oxide on starch. Preformed polyethylene oxide having hydroxyl end groups was converted to the chloroformate derivative and reacted with starch alkoxide. Watersoluble graft polymers were obtained free of cross linking. The efficiency of the coupling process decreased with increasing the DPn of the polyethylene oxide.
