Grafting Vinyl Monomers onto Silk Fibers. XIII. Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate onto Silk Using Fe3+−Cysteine Redox System

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk fibers initiated by the ferric chloride-eysteine redox system has been investigated in aqueous medium. The rate of grafting was calculated by varying the concentrations of monomer, initiator, acidity of the medium, cysteine, and temperature. The percentage of grafting increases with an increase of Fe³⁺ concentration up to 2,5 × 10^?3 mol/L and thereafter it decreases. The graft yield increases steadily upon increasing the monomer concentration. The graft yield also increases with increasing cysteine concentration up to 0.5 × 10^?3 mol/L and then decreases. The effect of the perchloric acid concentration, temperature, solvents, and certain neutral salts on graft yield has also been investigated and a suitable reaction scheme has been proposed.     

Surface Functionalization of Sisal Fibers Using Peroxide Treatment Followed by Grafting of Poly(ethyl acrylate) and Copolymers

Grafting of poly(ethyl acrylate) and its copolymers was carried out on peroxide-treated sisal fibers. Effect of reaction conditions on graft parameters like rate of graft copolymerization and % grafting were studied. The kinetics of graft copolymerization of ethyl acrylate onto peroxide-treated sisal fibers was studied, and the rate expression for the graft copolymerization was found to be R_g = k[EA]^1.74[FAS]^0.51. Grafting of poly(EA) and copolymers onto peroxide-treated sisal fibers was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction studies. Thermal stability and percentage crystallinity of sisal fibers were enhanced with peroxide treatment and graft copolymerization.     

GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF METHYL ACRYLATE ONTO CHITOSAN INITIATED BY POTASSIUM DIPERIODATONICKELATE (IV)

ABSTRACT

A novel redox system, potassium diperiodatonickelate [Ni (IV)]‐chitosan, was employed to initiate the graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) onto chitosan in alkali aqueous solution. The effects of reaction variables such as monomer concentration, initiator concentration, reaction time, pH and temperature were determined. By means of a series of copolymerization, the grafting conditions were optimized. The maximum grafting percentage obtained was 404.1% when 0.3 g chitosan was copolymerized with 1.8 mL monomer at 35°C for 5 hours with [Ni (IV)]=9.4×10^?4 M and the total volume was 20 mL. Ni (IV)-chitosan system is found to be an efficient redox initiator for this graft copolymerization. A single electron transfer mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of radicals and the initiation. The grafted copolymers were characterized by IR and X-ray diffraction diagrams. The thermal stability of chitosan and chitosan-g-PMA was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).     

Graft and block copolymers with polysiloxane and vinyl polymer segments

A convenient new process to make silicone/organic block and graft copolymers has been recently demonstrated. This dual copolymerization process combines conventional condensation polymerization of the siloxane segments with free radical polymerization of the organic vinyl polymer segments. The copolymerization process is relatively simple and economical compared with other copolymerization techniques as it uses commonly available starting materials and available process equipment. Silicone segments containing alkene side chains or end-groups are prepared in the usual way by polycondensation using an acid or base catalyst. The double bonds of the alkene groups are oxidized to carbonyls which are then used to initiate vinyl monomer polymerization and link the siloxane with the vinyl segments. This initiation step is based on a redox system of copper^(II) salts which generates free radicals on the alpha carbons next to the carbonyl groups. This copolymerization process is relatively fast and proceeds at high yields.     

Chemical and electrochemical grafting of polythiophene onto poly(vinyl chloride): synthesis,characterization, and materials properties

A facile strategy for chemical and electrochemical grafting of polythiophene onto poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is reported. For this purpose, a thiophene-functionalized PVC macromonomer (ThPVCM) was synthesized using a Kumada cross-coupling reaction. The synthesis of macromonomer was verified by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopes. The graft copolymerization of thiophene monomers onto ThPVCM was initiated by oxidized thiophene groups coupled onto PVC backbone after addition of ferric chloride (FeCl₃) via oxidation polymerization method. Moreover, the electrochemical graft copolymerization of thiophene onto ThPVCM was performed via constant potential electrolysis in the acetonitrile (ACN)–tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEAFB) solvent–electrolyte couple. The PVC-g-PTh obtained was characterized by means of FTIR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and its electroactivity behavior was verified under cyclic voltammetric conditions. Moreover, thermal behavior of the synthesized polymer was investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).     

Grafting vinyl monomers onto wool fibers. III. Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto wool using hexavalent chromium ion

The use of hexavalent chromium to initiate graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto wool fibers has been investigated. The rate of grafting was determined by varying monomer, chromium(VI), temperature, acidity of the medium, nature of wool, reaction medium, and redox system. The graft yield increases with increasing monomer concentration up to 0.65M, and, with further increase of monomer the graft yield decreases. The graft yield increases with increasing chromium(VI) concentration. The grafting is considerably influenced by chemical modification of wool prior to grafting. The effect of certain inorganic salt and anionic surfactant on the rate of grafting has been investigated. The graft yield is influenced by thiourea concentration; it decreases with increasing thiourea concentration.     

Photo-induced cellulose radicals capable of initiating graft copolymerization

The decay behavior of cellulose radicals produced by photo-irradiation at room temperature and the characteristics of photo-irradiated cellulose samples to initiate graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) were investigated. ESR spectra of such untreated, swollen, oximated, and ferric ion-sensitized samples irradiated at room temperature were constructed mainly of a single absorption line with a line width of 20 to 22 gauss and a g value of 2.003, and it is surely conceivable that the radicals showing a singlet spectrum should agree with those of alkoxy end produced at either the C₁ or C₄ position of the glucose unit by the scission of glucosidic bonds. The decay of radicals was accelerated by contact of various solvents with the samples, the activity decreasing in the order, water ≈ methanol ? acetone > dioxane. On the other hand, the decay of radicals by vinyl monomers became smaller in the order, methacrylic acid > MMA ≈ styrene. Graft copolymerization of MMA by a photo-irradiated sample was effectively initiated with the use of a certain amount of water or methanol, but not with acetone and dioxane. As no initiation can occur with the unirradiated sample, it is concluded that the initiation of graft copolymerization on the photo-irradiated sample is attributable to cellulose radicals showing a singlet spectrum which are formed in photo-irradiation at room temperature.     

Functionalized Cellulosic Fibers for Removal of Toxic Metal Ions From Contaminated Water

Functionalization of cellulosic okra fibers was carried out by graft copolymerization of acrylamide in the presence of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide as redox initiator in aqueous medium. Different reaction parameters such as time, temperature, initiator concentration, and monomer concentration were optimized to obtain the maximum graft yield. The graft copolymerized fibers were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Further, chemically modified fibers were used for removal of Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ toxic metal ions from contaminated water. The effect of pH, contact time, and metal ion concentration was studied in batch mode experiments. The kinetics of adsorption were studied using pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The adsorption isotherm was studied using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was found to fit the equilibrium data well.     

Copolymerization of poly(vinyl alcohol)‐graft‐poly(1,4‐dioxan‐2‐one) with designed molecular structure by a solid‐state polymerization method

Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐graft‐poly(1,4‐dioxan‐2‐one) (PVA‐g‐PPDO) with designed molecular structure was synthesized by a solid‐state polymerization. The solid‐state copolymerization was preceded by a graft copolymerization of PDO initiated with PVA as a multifunctional initiator, and Sn (Oct)₂ as a coininitiator/catalyst in a homogeneous molten state. The polymerization temperature was then decreased and the copolymerization was carried out in a solid state. The products prepared by solid‐state polymerization were characterized by ¹H NMR and DSC, and were compared with those synthesized in the homogeneous molten state. The degree of polymerization (D_p), degree of substitution (D_s), yield and the average molecular weight of the graft copolymer with different molecular structure were calculated from the ¹H NMR spectra. The results show that the crystallization process during the solid‐state polymerization may suppress the undesirable inter‐ or intramolecular side reactions, then resulting in a controlled molecular structure of PVA‐g‐PPDO. The results of DSC measurement show that the molecular structures determine the thermal behavior of the PVA‐g‐PPDO. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adsorption and Equilibrium Isotherm Study of Removal of Copper (II) Ions from Aqueous Solution by Chemically Modified Abelmoschus esculentus Fibers

The present study explores surface modification of Abelmoschus esculentus by graft copolymerization reaction using acrylonitrile as a monomer and ascorbic acid/H₂O₂ as a redox initiator. Further, polyacrylonitrile grafted fibers were treated with hydroxylamine to convert the nitrile group of the grafted fiber into the amidoxime group to enhance adsorption of copper ions from wastewater. The graft copolymers and amidoximated fibers were characterized by FT-IR and FE-SEM. The effects of physicochemical parameters such as pH of the solution, initial metal ion concentration, and time on Cu(II) adsorption were studied to optimize condition for maximum adsorption. In addition, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin models were applied to describe the adsorption isotherm of Cu²⁺ ions.     

Grafting onto wool. IV. Interaction of polymer radicals in the viscous media of wool fibers

In order to study the termination reaction of polymer radicals in the viscous media of wool fibers, reduced, methylated, and S-carboxymethylated wool fibers were used for graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene. With termination of poly(methyl methacrylate) radicals, two different termination reactions, recombination and disproportionation, were together involved in the grafting systems studied. The occurrences of two termination reactions in the system could be correlated with the mobility of the wool chain controlling the radical end mobility. With decreasing disulfide content in the fibers, disproportionation predominantly takes place among the mobilized chains. At a constant disulfide, the thiol content or the concentration of thiol anions becomes the determining factor for the termination reaction. A possible explanation for these phenomena in terms of the thiol and disulfide interchange reaction is presented. On the grafting of styrene, additional evidence was obtained that prevention and retardation of the interchange reactions followed mechanochemical bond scission of the disulfide and other covalent bonds and produced new free radicals which could initiate chain reactions.     

STUDIES ON THE OXIDATION AND GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF POLY(ETHER-URETHANE)

A new method of graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AAM) on poly(ether-urethane) (PEU) which was prepared from poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG), 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and ethylene diamine or butanediol extender was investigated. Hydroperoxide group was first introduced onto the surface of PEU through photo-oxidation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, then it was reacted with ferrous ion or N,N-dimethyl toluidine (DMT) to initiate AAM graft copolymerization on PEU surface. The graft reaction could be carried out effectively at low temperature. The formation of graft copolymer has been verified by its water absorption % and the scanning electron microscopy photographs. Some model compounds of PEU soft segment and hard segment were synthesized in order to clarify the site of graft reaction. The results of oxida-tion and graft copolymerization of model compounds showed that this graft copolymerization possesses higher selectivity, and it takes place predominately at the polyether segments, because the ether linkage in soft segment is very sensitive to oxidation and can form hydroperoxide easily. Thus, the grafting site appears to be at α-carbon of the ether linkage.     

Ceric Ion Initiated Graft Polymerization onto Poly(vinyl Alcohol)

This paper describes the kinetics of the ceric ion-initiated graft co-polymerization of vinyl acetate-acrylonitrile to poly(vinyl alcohol). The graft copolymerization rate R_p was found to be first order with respect to the total concentration of the comonomer mixture [M], the concentration of vinyl alcohol repeating units [PVA], and the mole fraction of vinyl acetate in the comonomer feed mixture. R_p was independent of cerous ion. The grafting rate was independent of ceric ion above a ceric concentration of 0.0020 M but first order in ceric ion below that concentration. Rp initially increased rapidly with [H⁺] to a maximum and then decreased and levelled off at hgher [H⁺]. The rate of ceric ion disappearance was first order in [PVA], independent of [MI, and increased with increasing [H⁺] with a leveling off at high [H⁺]. A reaction mechanism.     

Optical induced modifications in thin films of Fe:PVA

The ferric chloride doped polymers change their refractive index under UV irradiation. The Fe:PVA is sensitive to ferric chloride concentration, molecular weight of PVA, and recording beam power. By Mössbauer investigations we tried to correlate the Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ ratio, as well as the temperature dependence of the energetical parameters with the assumed mechanisms which involve both the valence state of iron and a cross-linking reaction of PVA matrix.     

Characterization and Evaluation of Thermal,Morphological, and Physicochemical Properties of Chemically Modified Lignocellulosic Biomass

A novel redox system, ascorbic acid-hydrogen peroxide, was employed to initiate graft copolymerization of ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate binary monomer mixtures onto Abelmoschus esculentus fibers at a temperature of 45°C for 90 min in an aqueous medium. Factors affecting grafting such as feed molarity and comonomer composition were investigated. Contrary to the lower affinity of methyl methacrylate for grafting on Abelmoschus fibers, a synergistic effect of ethyl acrylate on methyl methacrylate was observed when graft copolymers were prepared using different feed compositions (f_MMA). The percentage of grafting increased from 40.2% to 89.74% at 0.4 mole fraction of f_MMA. The graft copolymers were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, and SEM techniques.     

Solvent “Goodness” in Polymer Separation by Flow

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk fibers was investigated in aqueous solution using the V⁵⁺?thiourea redox system. The rate of grafting was determined by varying monomer, thiourea, acidity of the medium, temperature, initiator concentration, and reaction medium. The percentage of graft yield increases significantly by increasing the initiator concentration up to 0.01 M and thereafter decreases with a further increase of initiator concentration. The graft yield increases with an increase of thiourea concentration up to 10.0 × 10^?4 and then decreases with a further increase of thiourea concentration. The effect of increasing the monomer concentration brings about a significant enhancement in the graft yield. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed and the rate equation has been evaluated.     

Ascorbic Acid/H2O2-initiated Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate onto Abelmoschus Esculentus Fiber: A Kinetic Approach

Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto lignocellulosic Abelmoschus esculentus fibers was successfully carried out in aqueous medium using ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide as redox initiator. Maximum percentage of grafting was achieved when the concentrations of ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and monomer were 3.85 × 10^?2, 2.41 × 10^?1, and 1.87 × 10^?1 mol/L respectively at a temperature of 45°C for a reaction time of 90 min. The kinetics of graft copolymerization was also studied, and it was found that the rate expression for graft copolymerization is (R_g) = K [Asc]^0.68[H₂O₂]^0.49[MMA]^1.17. The activation energy for graft copolymerization of MMA onto Abelmoschus fiber was found to be 12.48 KJ/mol. The graft copolymers thus formed were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.     

Atom transfer graft copolymerization of 2‐ethyl hexylacrylate from labile chlorines of poly(vinyl chloride) in an aqueous suspension

Copper‐mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is presented as a versatile tool for the graft copolymerization of 2‐ethyl hexylacrylate with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in an aqueous suspension. The appreciable solubility of PVC in 2‐ethyl hexylacrylate (30%) at temperatures around 130 °C makes grafting of the monomer possible from labile chlorines of PVC in aqueous suspensions without the use of additional solvent. The first‐order kinetics (rate constant k = 4.2 × 10^?6 s^?1) of the mass percentage increase reveals a typical ATRP fashion of the graft copolymerization at low conversions. The use of a completely organosoluble copper(I) complex of hexylated triethylene tetramine, in combination with α‐methylcellulose as a stabilizer, makes the graft copolymerization possible in a dispersed organic phase. Nearly spherical, green particles can be obtained with moderate stirring rates (1000 rpm) in high graft yields. Although the kinetics of the reaction deviates from the first order at high conversions, reasonable graft yields (146%) can be attained within a reaction period of 24 h. In this study, the reaction conditions of the grafting have been studied, and graft products have been confirmed by common techniques such as ¹H NMR, gel permeation chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
