Slow release of urea encapsulated by starch PVA matrix

The hydrophobicity of starch/PVA blend was improved by crosslinking with boric acid.It was found that the swelling ratio of the boric acid modified starch/PVA matrix decreased as function of boric acid concentration. FTIR spectra and SEM images demonstrated that the urea had been encapsulated in pol...
