A large number of cyanide functional groups were introduced onto the carbohydrate biopolymer tragacanth gum to yield hydrophobic graft copolymer, tragacanth gum-g-polyacrylonitrile. Thus, graft copolymerization of monomer acrylonitrile (AN) was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an initiator. The highest percentage of grafting (543%) and the lowest homopolymer content (10%) were achieved through a systematic optimization of the polymerization variables, including reaction time, temperature, and concentration of CAN, AN and the gum. Evidence of grafting was examined by comparing FTIR spectra. The optimally prepared tragacanth gum-g-polyacrylonitrile copolymer was also characterized thermally and morphologically. It was hydrolyzed in alkaline medium to achieve an in-situ crosslinked hybrid network with ultra high water absorption capacity (swelling in water, 30700%; swelling in saline, 6550%). The swelling characteristic of the semi-synthetic super-absorbent hydrogel was preliminarily investigated. The chemical structure, thermal characteristics and morphology of the hydrogel hybrid product were briefly studied.
