Synthesis of Natural Rubber Hydrogel by Chemical Crosslinking with Biopolymer for Using as Growing Media in Soilless Culture
Keywords:
Hydrogel, Natural rubber, BiopolymersAbstract
Hydrogel is interesting alternative material which Thailand has a large amount of raw materials that can be synthesized. This research objective was to determine biopolymer compatibility and its potential as a hydroponic material. By chemical crosslinking of Natural rubber (Nr) with MBA (N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide) mixed between Cassava starch (St), Pectin (Pt) and Chitosan (Ct) ratios 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3 of the substance content. It found that Nr/St, Nr/Pt and Nr/Ct ratios were compatible in all ratios but Nr/Ct unable to from plate. The highest water absorption at 29.80 % of Nr/St 5:5 same with the absorption of nutrient solution at 13.55 % and not significant (P≥95). As highest water absorption efficiency Nr/Pt 5:5 at 78.24 %. while the higher nutrient solution absorption efficiency Nr/St 5:5 at 90.14 % and significant (P≥95). The hydrogel seed germination was 11.00 % not significant (P≥95). Including the hydrogel degradation in soil increases with time.
