This work investigated the structure and self-assembly behavior of grafted starch (GS) prepared by grafting vinyl acetate (VAc) on the starch molecule. Our preliminary structure characterization, NMR, and quantum mechanical simulation demonstrated the C2 of the glucose unit as the main grafting site. The grafting frequency and chain length (starch, VAc) were calculated based on the result of gel permeation chromatography. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that, when compared with native starch, GS had less hydrogen bon
