THE IMPACT OF RAPID POPULATION GROWTH ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Starch adhesive production from cassava and potato were investigated and characterized. Adhesives based on different raw materials have different properties and are thus used for sealing of wrappers, wood bonding, wall paper, office paste, laminating paper board, postage stamps, industrial paper tape etc. Starch based adhesive are usually manufactured or synthesized from cassava starch, corn starch, potato starch, tapioca flour, wheat flour and tamarind starch. The synthesis and characterization of starch adhesive have been studied in this work based in that the cassava and potato starch were used in the experimental part of the work as reference points. The starch adhesive studied in this treatise in that involving the action of both heat and the acid on the starch and the adhesive are thus produced and characterized in their rate of gel formation, viscosity and stability etc.
