The horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/acetone peroxide (ACAC) binary system serves as an initiator to stimulate the generation of free radicals from starch, acrylic acid (AA), and methyl acrylate (MA). Simultaneously, while AA and MA undergo self-polymerization and copolymerization, they also get grafted onto starch chains through self-polymerization and alternating copolymerization. A substantial number of branched small-molecule chains are uniformly grafted onto the primary chain of starch with a low molecular weight.
