The anionic graft polymerization of lauryl methacrylate on the potassium alkoxide derivative of starch was studied. The yield of graft polymer increased with increasing alkoxide concentration. With increasing monomer concentration and with increasing temperature, the extent of homopolymer formation increased. The composition of the graft polymers depends on the reaction conditions; graft polymers having about 30–65% polylauryl methacrylate were obtained.
