Interpenetrating network (IPN) of κ-carrageenan and poly(acrylic acid) was fabricated. Polyacrylic acid was synthesized as well as crosslinked in the presence of κ-carrageenan followed by crosslinking the κ-carrageenan in the presence of sodium ion. In order to fabricate glycidyl trimethyl ammonium...
