N2  - Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)was successfully grafted onto sago starch using ceric ammonium nitrate as initiator in aqueous medium. The percentage of grafting increased with increasing concentration of GMA monomer in the range studied. A core-shell configuration had been suggested to account for the hydrophobic behavior of the starch-g-GMA. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis provided evidence of the grafting of GMA onto the starch. The acrylic double bond participated in the grafting onto the polysaccharide backbone with the glycidyl groups remaining unaffected. The graft copolymer of starch and glycidyl methacrylate (starch-g-GMA)was incorporated into UV curable formulations using a cationic photoinitiator. In general, the addition of starch-g-GMA increased the flexibility of the cured film. The increasing of starch-g-GMA concentration in the coatings formulation increased the hardness of cured films. Gel content of the cured epoxy resin remained unimpaired by the addition of starch-g-GMA. Increasing the photoinitiator concentration in the coating formulations increased the hardness and as expected decreased the flexibility of the cured film. The gel content increased with increasing photoinitiator concentration. Further experiments are in progress to study the biodegradability of coatings
