Development of a solid‐phase microextraction fiber coated with poly(methacrylic acid‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and its application for the determination of chlorophenols in water coupled with GC

A solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coated with poly(methacrylic acid‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) coupled to GC with a micro electron‐capture detector was developed for the determination of four chlorphenols in water samples for the first time. A novel and simple method for the preparation of this novel SPME fiber was proposed by copolymerization of methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in an appropriate solvent using a glass capillary as a “mold”. The factors affecting the polymerization were optimized in detail. Furthermore, the extraction performance of the poly(methacrylic acid‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) fiber was evaluated. Moreover, experimental headspace‐SPME parameters, such as extraction temperature, extraction time, salt concentration, stirring speed, and pH, were optimized by orthogonal array experimental designs. Under the optimized conditions, the target analytes were linear in the range of 0.2–50 ng/mL, and the correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.99. RSD was less than 8.9%, and the detection limits were in the range of 0.1–10 ng/L. Four cholorphenols were detected from tap and lake water samples using the proposed method, with the recoveries of spiked natural water samples were ranged from 91.8 to 110.8, and 90.6 to 111.4% for tap and lake water samples, respectively.     

Microgel formation in the free radical crosslinking polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). I. Experimental

An important feature of free radical crosslinking polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) resin is the formation of heterogeneous structure through intramolecular reaction. Such structure formation affects not only the cure behavior and rheological changes of the resin but also the physical properties of the formed polymers. In this study, the reaction kinetics, morphological changes, and characteristics of formed polymers were examined by a differential scanning calorimeter, a Rheometrics Dynamic Analyzer, a dynamic light scattering goniometer, and a Fourier transfer infrared spectrometer. Experimental data showed the formation of bimodal polymers before gelation. These polymers are partially crosslinked and can be considered as microgel particles. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

GRAFTING OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL DIMETHACRYLATE ONTO SILK IN AQUEOUS ALCOHOLIC SOLUTION

The grafting of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) onto silk in aqueous alcohol systems using potassiumpersulfate (KPS) in the presence of air was investigated. Effects of grafting conditions, such as concentrations of monomer,initiator and formic acid, temperature and time, on the graft yield were determined. The optimum graft conditions were foundto be: T = 80℃, t = 30 min, [KPS] = 1.85% [on the weight ofmonomer (owm)]; [formic acid] = 0.2% (V/V); [EGDMA] =80% [on the weight of fiber (owf)]. The activation energy of grafting at 50-80℃ was found to be 71.31 kJ/mol for EGDMA.Grafting equations were also evaluated. The graft yield value can be regulated by the concentration of monomer. The graftcopolymerization of EGDMA onto silk is effective in improving the crease-proofing of silk fabrics.     

Poly(PEGDMA‐MAA) copolymeric micro and nanoparticles for oral insulin delivery

Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) based micro and nanoparticles were prepared and evaluated as a carrier for oral delivery of insulin. PEGDMA was synthesized by esterification reaction of the PEG4000 with MAA in the presence of an acid catalyst. Particles of different size were prepared by emulsion polymerization reaction using different concentration of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as an emulsifying agent. Synthesized copolymeric particle were characterized by attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐FTIR), scanning electron microscopy, and acid value. The mean particle diameter of the polymeric micro and nanoparticles at various physiologically relevant pH values was measured using dynamic light scattering. Insulin loading efficiency of the particles was found to be directly proportional to the particle size and inversely proportional to the acid value of the particles. In vitro insulin release studies from various insulin loaded particles were performed by simulating the gastrointestinal tract conditions using HPLC. At pH 2.5, the release of insulin from polymeric particles was observed in the range of 5–8% while a significant higher release (20–35%) was observed at pH 7.4 during first 15 min of in vitro release. Largest size copolymeric particles of 8.3 µm also showed the highest efficiency to reduce the blood glucose level in diabetic rabbits. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of hydrophilic polyester‐PEO networks with shape‐memory properties

Shape‐memory polyester‐polyethylene oxide networks are synthesized through photopolymerization of hydrophobic poly[(D,L‐lactide)‐co‐glycolide]tetraacrylate (PLGATA) and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA). The materials can recover their original shape either quickly by heating stimulus or slowly upon immersion in water. The wettability, mechanical properties, and transition temperature of the polymer networks could be conveniently adjusted by variation of the compositions of PLGATA and PEGDMA. The hydrophilicity of PEGDMA could prospectively improve blood compatibility of polymer networks. They offer a high potential for biomedical applications such as smart implants, drug delivery systems, or medical devices. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Improving resins for solid phase synthesis: incorporation of 1-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-4-vinyl-benzene

The preparation, characterisation and application of a series of non-grafted polystyrene (PS) resins containing a styrenic methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) derivative is presented. These novel PS-MPEG resins were designed to balance swelling and solvation with improved handling. The monomer, 1-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-4-vinyl-benzene, contained an inert phenyl ether linkage designed to provide broad chemical compatibility and stability, yet imparting all the favourable properties of the PEG group into the new resin, whilst maintaining a high loading capacity. The synthetic performance of the new resins compared very favourably to those of TentaGel™, ArgoGel™ and aminomethyl PS.     

High energy binders: glycidyl azide and allyl azide polymer

Hydroxy-terminated azido polymers such as poly(glycidyl azide), poly bis(azidomethyl oxetane) and poly(azidomethyl methyloxetane) have been investigated in the past in propellent formulations and as fuels in rocket technology. The high energy released upon the decomposition of the azido group is responsible for their specialized application as high-energy binders. The present paper describes the synthesis and characterization of new low molecular mass azido polymer i.e. poly(allyl azide). The curing reaction was carried out by using 1,3-cyclic dipolar addition reaction. The dipolarophiles, such as dimethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and addition polyimides (bismaleimides, bisnadimides and bisitaconimides) were used for curing of azido polymers. The curing reaction was monitored by FT-IR and differential scanning calorimetry. Curing was carried out at 40°C for 16 h (EGDMA) or 2 days (bismaleimide) and then at 60°C by using different phr of dipolarophiles. The heat of exothermic transition, due to decomposition of azide groups and thermal polymerization of addition polyimides, was very high and an improvement in thermal stability of cured resins was observed.

Macromonomer Purification Strategy for Well‐Defined Polymer Amphiphiles Incorporating Poly(ethylene glycol) Monomethacrylate

Summary: Commercial hydroxy‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylates (PEG‐MAs) contain poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, which leads to unfavorable gel formation on polymerization. Here, hydroxy‐terminated PEG‐MA is readily isolated using a dimethylsilyl resin chlorinated with 1,3‐dichloro‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin. Solution polymerization of the isolated PEG‐MA by free radical routes gives a high‐molecular‐weight amphiphilic graft copolymer without cross‐linking. The resulting polymer is stable for long periods in ambient conditions with preservation of the hydroxy end groups of PEG.

Commercial hydroxy‐terminated PEG‐MA can be separated readily and completely from PEG dimethacrylate contaminant with chlorinated dimethylsilyl resin.     

Gas Chromatographic Analysis in the Synthesis of Poly (Ethylene Oxide) Dimethyl Ethers

ABSTRACT

Gas chromatography (GC) was used in the analysis of the synthesized oligomeric mixtures, involving poly(ethylene glycol)s, poly(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ethers, poly(ethylene oxide) dimethyl ethers and crown ethers. It was demonstrated that the samples could be successfully analyzed on the wide bore capillary column with cross-linked polar stationary phase (FFAP) without derivatization. An on-column injection technique is used to avoid possible sample distortion. Identification and quantitative analysis were achieved taking advantage of the GC homologues retention rule and the FID effective carbon number response rule, thus the limitations of some standard availability and purity problems were avoided. Much useful information such as average molecular weight, polydisperse distribution and so on were obtained by the established method, which is very important in the process monitoring and product quality control.     

Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable,amorphous, soft IPNs with shape‐memory effect

Star‐shaped oligo[(D ,L ‐lactide)‐co‐ε‐caprolactone]s (PCLA) with various number average molecular weights were synthesized via ring‐opening polymerization of D ,L ‐lactide (DLLA) and ε‐caprolactone (CL) with organic Sn as catalyst and pentaerythritol as an initiator. The elastic amorphous interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyesterurethane/poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) were synthesized in situ by UV‐photopolymerization of PEGDMA and thermal polymerization of PCLA with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). IPNs are transparent soft materials and the gel content of the IPNs is exceeding 87%. They are rubbery when PEGDMA content is above 10% at room temperature. IPNs show good shape‐memory properties. IPNs recover quickly its permanent form in 10 sec when the environment temperature is above its glass transition temperature (T_g). IPNs have only one single T_g between the T_g of PEGDMA and polyesterurethane. The strain recovery rate (R_r) and the strain fixity rate (R_f) are above 90%. No characteristic peaks of PEG crystallites in X‐ray diffraction pattern (XRD) demonstrate that they are amorphous polymer networks. The wettability, degradation rate, mechanical properties, and T_g of the IPNs could be conveniently adjusted by changing PEGDMA content in IPNs. The soft IPNs are promising suitable as potential soft substrates with tailored mechanical properties for potential clinical or medical use. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis of Monodisperse Poly（glycidylmethacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate） Beads and Their Application in Separation of Biopolymers

Introduction Since 19541 the polymeric separation media has attracted much attention due to their chemical stability over the entire pH range. The rigid, highly cross-linked styrene copolymers were first used for chromatography by Moore.2 The macroporous copolymers currently available are not only chemically stable but also more resistant to mechanical forces prevailing in a column and therefore are comparable to the traditional packings based on silica gel. Most polymer separation media are …     

Influence of Crosslinking and Porosity on the Uranium Adsorption of Macroreticular Chelating Resin Containing Amidoxime Groups

Macroreticular chelating resins (RNH) containing amidoxime groups with various degrees of crosslinking were synthesized by using various amounts of divinylbenzene (DVB) or/and poly(ethylene glycol) dimeth-acrylate [ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (IG), diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (2G), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (3G), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate (4G), and nanoethylene glycol dimethacrylate (9G)] as crosslinking reagent. The effects of crosslinking reagents on the pore structure, ion-exchange capacity, swelling ratio, and adsorption ability for uranium of RNH were investigated. The adsorption ability of RNH for uranium was tested by use of natural seawater or U-spiked seawater. RNH-1G samples prepared by using 1G were shown to have macroreticular structures by measuring the specific surface area. RNH-1G had high adsorption ability and good physical stability. Though RNH-4G samples obtained by using 4G had little macroreticular structure (macropore), these resins showed high adsorption ability for uranium on treatment with 0. 1 M NaOH at 30°C for 15 h. RNH-4G was found to have low physical and chemical stability. For the preparation of RNH with effective pore structure for the recovery of uranium, as well as chemical and physical stability, the simultaneous use of DVB and 1G or 4G as crosslinking reagent was examined (abbreviated as RNH-DVB-1G and RNH-DVB-4G). The RNH-DVB-1G showed high adsorption ability for uranium. Repeated use did not cause deterioration of either RNH-DVB-1G or RNH-DVB-4G. RNH-DVB-1G samples with various degrees of crosslinking were prepared, and the uranium recovery of the resins was also investigated by a column method. Although the RNH-DVB-1G samples with the same degree of crosslinking had almost the same content of amidoxime groups, the uranium recovery of each RNH-DVB-1G sample was considerably different and increased by treatment with alkali solution. These results indicate that the adsorption ability of RNH-DVB-1G for uranium in seawater was not only affected by the macropores but also by the micropores formed by swelling of the resins.
