Synthesis of ion exchange membranes from ozonized high density polyethylene

The synthesis and the characterization of graft copolymers prepared from ozonized high density polyethylene (HDPE) are described. The powder of HDPE was treated with ozone in well defined conditions and then copolymerized with monomers, such as, acrylic acid (AA), N,N-dimethylamino-2 ethylmethacrylate (MADAME) and vinyl phosphonic acid (VPA). Cationic exchange membranes were prepared from the grafted copolymers of AA and VPA and anionic exchange membrane from the grafted copolymer of MADAME. The obtained copolymers were characterized by the grafting rate, FTIR spectroscopy, scaning electronic microscopy, thickness, exchange capacity and electrical resistance.     

Radiation graft post-polymerization of sodium styrene sulfonate onto polyethylene

Post-irradiation grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) in the presence of acrylic acid (AA) has been investigated on polyethylene (PE) pre-exposed to gamma radiation at room temperature in the air. Special attention was paid to the effect of low molecular weight salt additives on the kinetics of graft copolymerization of SSS and AA. The presence of SSS links in the grafted PE copolymers was detected by the methods of UV and FTIR spectroscopy. Based on the FITR spectroscopy and element analysis data, a mechanism was proposed for graft copolymerization of SSS and AA onto PE. The mechanical properties of the graft copolymers were studied. It was established that PE copolymers grafted with sulfonic acid and carboxyl groups have higher strength characteristics (16.3 MPa) compared to the samples containing only carboxyl groups (11 MPa).     

Polymer–Metal Complexes Obtained by Radiation‐Induced Grafting Process onto Polyester Fabrics

Abstract

This paper reports the preparation of chelating copolymers via grafting of acrylic acid, and/or acrylamide onto polyester microfiber (PETMF) fabrics using a γ‐radiation technique. The effect of monomer concentration on the grafting process at irradiation dose 20?kGy was studied. The prepared graft chains (PETMF‐g‐AA), (PETMF‐g‐AAm), and (PETMF‐g‐PAAc/PAAm) acted as chelating sites for some selected transition metal ions. The effect of grafting on mechanical properties of PETMF and its copolymer–metal complexes was investigated. The prepared chelating copolymers and their metal complexes were characterized using x‐ray (energy dispersive x‐ray, EDX), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), color parameters, and electrical conductivity measurements. The possibility of practical uses for such prepared graft copolymer–metal complexes was discussed and determined. The observed results showed that the electrical conductivity of the grafted copolymers and their metal complexes are thermally activated. Moreover, the degree of grafting enhanced the conductivity values of the grafted and non‐complexed copolymer up to three orders of magnitude, on the other hand, the conductivity of the copolymer–metal complexes slightly increased.     

Characterization of N-isopropyl acrylamide/acrylic acid grafted polypropylene nonwoven fabric developed by radiation-induced graft polymerization

Radiation-induced graft copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylic acid (AA) mixture was carried out on polypropylene nonwoven fabric to develop a thermosensitive material and has been found to affect the thermal and physical characteristics of fabric. The grafted fabrics with different monomer ratios were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results of FTIR clearly indicated that poly(acrylic acid) and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) were successfully grafted onto the membrane surface. TGA results showed that the thermal stability of PP fabric increased after grafting of NIPAAm/AA. The crystallinity values from DSC and XRD were found to decrease with increase in degree of grafting because of the addition of grafted chains within the noncrystalline region. The decrease in contact angles of the grafted fabric with an increase of the degree of grafting shows that PNIPAAm/PAA exists as the hydrophilic component. The increase in surface roughness after grafting was observed by AFM.     

Radiation-induced graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto fluorinated polymers. II. Graft copolymer–metal complexes obtained by radiation grafting onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene) copolymer

A study has been made on the graft copolymers obtained by radiation-induced grafting of acrylic acid onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene) (ET) films. The conversion of the graft copolymer into metal acrylate copolymer complex was carried out by treatment with different metal salts. Such a prepared graft copolymer–metal complex was confirmed by different methods: IR, UV spectrometry, degree of coloration, and x-ray fluorescence. Some selected properties of the graft copolymer–metal complexes such as electrical conductivity, swelling behavior, and mechanical properties were investigated. The influence of metal complexes in the graft copolymers was determined and compared with the grafted films. The possibility of the practical uses for such prepared graft copolymer–metal complexes was discussed and determined. It was assumed that such materials may be of great interest in the field of semiconducting materials in addition to their applicability as cation-exchange membranes. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Graft copolymerization kinetics of acrylic acid onto the poly(ethylene terephthalate) surface by atmospheric pressure plasma inducement

After one atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film, acrylic acid (AAc) in aqueous solution was successfully graft‐copolymerized onto PET films. The effects of reaction time, AAc monomer concentration and reaction temperature on grafting behavior of AAc were systematically studied. Possible reaction kinetics of plasma‐induced graft copolymerization, starting from initial hydroperoxide decomposition, were proposed. Through the Arrhenius analysis about graft copolymerization kinetics of AAc monomers on PET surface, it was revealed that the activation energies of decomposition, propagation and termination were 98.4, 63.5, and 17.5 kJ/mol, respectively. The temperature around 80 °C was favorable not only for the formation of oxide radicals through the thermal decomposition of hydroperoxide on PET surface but also for the extension of graft copolymer chain through direct polymer grafting. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) grains grafted onto PET surfaces possessed relatively uniform size and both PAAc grain size and surface roughness increased with increasing the grafting degree of AAc. The increase of grain size with increasing grafting degree results from the possibility of forming long chain graft copolymers and their shielding of reactive sites. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The use of acrylic acid-co-nylon substrates for immobilizing enzymes

A number of poly(acrylic acid)-co-nylon graft copolymers were prepared. Two approaches were used. The first involved the direct, radiation-induced grafting of acrylic acid onto the nylon, while the second involved the hydrolysis of polyacrylonitrile-co-nylon graft copolymers. All the resulting poly(acrylic acid)-co-nylon graft copolymers coupled large amounts of protein when the carbodimides CMC and EDAC were used as coupling agents. However, when the enzymes β-galactosidase and trypsin were immobilized, the retention of activity was relatively low. A number of reasons for this effect can be postulated, some of which were investigated. From the evidence, it would appear that the major reason is that the carboxylic acid groups are fixed to a “rigid” backbone, which allows them to interact with the enzyme after the establishment of an initial covalent attachment. Additionally, with acid phosphatase, it was observed that the enzyme interacted with immobilized carboxylic acid groups before coupling occurred.     

Irradiation-grafted polymeric films. I. Preparation and properties of acrylic acid–grafted polyethylene films

Graft copolymers of low-density polyethylene film and acrylic acid have been prepared by the direct grafting technique. The properties of 27.4, 33.9, 41.2, and 46.4 wt-% poly(acrylic acid) graft copolymer films have been compared. Measurements include degree and uniformity of grafting, gel water content, degree of swelling on wetting, tensile strength, elongation, ion-exchange capacity, water-vapor transmission, and water flux and solute rejection under reverse osmosis conditions. These properties were found to vary as the composition of the graft copolymer changed; most properties were found to be a linear function of the degree of grafting.     

GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF VINYL MONOMERS ONTO STARCH INITIATED BY TRANSITION METAL-THIOUREA REDOX SYSTEMS

In this paper, the capabilities of grafting acrylonitrile (AN) onto starch initiatedby Fe(III)-TU, V(V)-TU, Cr(VI)-TU, Mn(VII)-TU redox systems were compared in thepresence of sulfuric acid of different concentrations. It was shown that the grafting capabili-ty of Mn(VII)-TU is the highest in these initiating systems. Using Mn (VII-TU as initia-tor, the effects of various acids (HClO_4, H_2SO_4, HNO_3, HCl) on the graft copolymerizationof acrylonitrile onto starch were discussed, and the capabilities of graft copolymerizationof methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA) onto starch wereinvestigated. The experimental results show that the order of the influences of differentacids is HClO_4>H_2SO_4>HNO_3>HCl, and the order of grafting capabilities of differentmonomers grafted onto starch is MMA>AN>AM>AA. The structure and morphology ofgraft copolymers were studied with infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The size, shape and roughness of surface of the grafted starch granules are changed aftergrafting.     

RADICAL GRAFTING REACTIONS ONTO STARCH AND OTHER WATER-SOLUBLE COPOLYMERS IN ISOLATED GEL DROPLETS

A novel radical grafting copolymerization process has been designed for water-soluble polymers which avoids the problems of conducting grafting reactions in highly viscous polymerization media. A variety of water-soluble graft copolymers having starch or dextran as the backbone chain with grafted side chains of polyacrylamide (—AM—), poly (acrylic acid ) (—AA—), poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (—AM—NH_4AA—) or poly ( acrylamide-co-2-acryiamido-2-methyl-l-propanesulphinic acid) (—AM—AMPS—) have been synthesized in gel droplets using aceric sulphate redox initiator, and their properties compared. The reaction conditions were optimized taking into account reaction kinetic data and the observed properties of the products produced under different reaction conditions. The effects of the ratios of [backbone]/[graft monomer], [ AM]/[ AA]/[AMPS] , [Ce~(4+)]/[ S_2O_8=] and pH value on the reaction rate , conversion, grafting degree, grafted chain length and the product molecular weight have been investigated.
