Methylene chain length regulates the interfacial behavior of fatty-acylated starches and its role in forming robust superhydrophobic cryogels.

Developing bio-based superhydrophobic adsorbents requires a molecular understanding of how hydrophobic modifiers regulate polysaccharide wettability. However, the role of methylene-chain extension in determining the interfacial spreading behavior of fatty-acylated starch remains poorly understood. In this work, corn st...
