Graft copolymers of polyacrylamide with starch, amylose, and amylopectin have been synthesized using ceric‐ion‐induced redox initiation technique. The polymers were characterized using different instrumental techniques like thermal, XRD, SEM, IR, NMR, and elemental analysis. The results indicated that there is a substantial amount of grafting with minimum formation of homopolyacrylamide. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 70: 1795–1810, 1998
