Polymer-clay nanocomposites: chemical grafting of polystyrene onto Cloisite 20A

An account of the experiments on preparing polystyrene(PS) nanocomposites through grafting the polymer onto organophilic montmorillonite is reported.Cloisite 20A was reacted with vinyltrichlorosilane to replace the edge hydroxyl groups of the clay with a vinyl moiety.Because the reaction may liberate HC1,it was performed in the presence of sodium hydrogencarbonate to prevent the exchange of quaternary alkylammonium cations with H~+ ions.Only the silanol groups on the edge of the clay react with vinyltrichlorosilane.The radical polymerization of the product with styrene as a vinyl monomer leads to chemical grafting of PS onto the montmorillonite surface.The homopolymer formed during polymerization was separated from the grafted organoclay by Soxhlet extraction.Chemical grafting of the polymer onto Cloisite 20A was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy.The prepared nanocomposite materials and the grafted nano-particles were studied by XRD.Exfoliated nanocomposites may be obtained for 0.5 wt%-l wt%clay content.The nanocomposites were studied by thermogravimertic analysis(TGA) dynamic thermal analysis(DTA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMTA).     

Mechanism of graft copolymerization of styrene onto deproteinized natural rubber

High conversion and high grafting efficiency attained by graft copolymerization of styrene onto deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) was investigated with respect to the molecular weight of grafted polystyrene. The graft copolymerization was performed with tert-butyl hydroperoxide/tetraethylenepentamine as an initiator after deproteinization of natural rubber with urea. Grafted polystyrene was isolated from the resulting graft copolymer by ozonolysis reaction. After the ozonolysis of the graft copolymer of DPNR and polystyrene (DPNR-g-PS), the molecular weight of grafted polystyrene was determined by size exclusion chromatography. Effects of initiator and monomer concentrations were investigated with respect to the molecular weight of the grafted polystyrene, which was found to depend on not only the number of active site generated on the rubber particle but also the feed of styrene. Deactivation and chain transfer of the active sites were attributed to effective amount of styrene used for the graft copolymerization.     

Radiation-induced synthesis of vinyl copolymer based nanocomposites filled with reactive organic montmorillonite clay

Vinyl copolymer–clay nanocomposites were prepared by γ-irradiation-initiated radical polymerization using a mixture of styrene (St) and divinyl benzene (DVB) in the presence of reactive organic montmorillonite clay (OMMT) in methanol at room temperature. Reactive OMMT was synthesized by a cation exchange reaction of Na⁺-MMT and 1-[(4-ethylphenyl)methyl]-3-butyl-imidazolium chloride as a reactive organic modifier in an aqueous solution. The microstructures of the nanocomposites were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal stability was examined by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). As a result, the reactive OMMT was a good additive material for preparing vinyl copolymer–clay nanocomposites.     

Radiation-initiated homogeneous grafting of styrene to benzylcellulose

Graft copolymers of benzylcellulose and styrene were prepared by direct irradiation of benzylcellulose–styrene solutions with ⁶⁰Co γ-radiation. The solutions remained homogeneous during irradiation. The amount of styrene grafted to benzylcellulose increased in dilute solutions and was dose-dependent up to 4.0 MR. The graft copolymer consisted of both branched and linear structures with one in every 140–1020 benzylated anhydroglucose units carrying a grafted polystyrene chain. Grafted polystyrene was isolated from the graft copolymer by hydrolysis of the benzylcellulose substrate. The number-average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the grafted polystyrene were the same as those for hompolymer formed in the same solution, indicating that the substrate is fully accessible to the monomer and polymerization conditions are uniform throughout the solution during the grafting procedure. The existence of a true graft copolymer was proved by the solubility behavior, intrinsic viscosity, number-average molecular weight, and density-gradient sedimentation of the product of the grafting procedure. Column elution fractionation of the gross products of the grafting procedure failed to isolate the benzylcellulose–styrene copolymer which was eluted with ungrafted benzylcellulose.     

Exfoliated high-impact polystyrene/MMT nanocomposites prepared using anchored cationic radical initiator-MMT hybrid

High-impact polystyrene (HIPS)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via in-situ polymerization of styrene in the presence of polybutadiene, using intercalated cationic radical initiator-MMT hybrid. Incomplete exfoliation of the silicate layers in the HIPS nanocomposites was observed when a bulk polymerization was employed. On the other hand, the silicate layers were efficiently exfoliated in the PS matrix during a solution polymerization, due to the low extra-gallery viscosity, which can facilitate the diffusion of styrene monomers into the clay layers. The resulting exfoliated HIPS/MMT nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, particle size analysis, gel permeation chromatography, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The nanocomposites exhibited significant improvement in thermal and mechanical properties. For example, about 50% improvement in Young’s modulus was achieved with 5 wt% of clay, compared to the unmodified polymer counterpart.     

Evidences of macromolecular chains confinement of ethylene–propylene copolymer in organophilic montmorillonite nanocomposites

A random ethylene–propylene copolymer (EPM) functionalized with grafted diethylsuccinate groups was melt blended with increasing amount (to 20 wt%) of organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) to prepare nanocomposites with different morphologies as evidenced by XRD and TEM analysis. All the nanocomposites were treated with boiling toluene that did not extract a significant amount of EPM. The increase of not-extracted EPM with the increasing quantity of OMMT suggested strong interactions of the polymer chains with the inorganic substrate. The DSC measurements of nanocomposites and the corresponding insoluble residues revealed a higher T_g values with larger amount of inorganic particles. The dielectric relaxation analysis confirmed the evidence of strong interactions among montmorillonite and the polar diethylsuccinate groups for the macromolecules trapped due to the presence of the inorganic layers. The results were discussed with reference to their relevance as an evidence of nanoconfinement at polymer clay interface and correlated with the clay basal distance variation due to the intercalation process.

Greffage de styrene et de styrene-acrylonitrile sur polybutadiene—comparaison des masses moléculaires

Polymerization of styrene in the presence of different types of polybutadiene leads to polystyrene (PS) grafted on to rubber and to free PS. It is shown that a difference in molecular weight exists between grafted and free PS; the molecular weight of grafted PS is systematically higher than that of free PS. A comparison to ABS systems has been made by grafting styrene and styrene-acrylonitrile in the same conditions on to polybutadiene. It appears that the difference in molecular weight between grafted and non-grafted polymer is much more pronounced in the case of ABS. These results can be explained by considering a decrease of the termination rate constant (k_t) in consequence of the local viscosity variations near the polybutadiene coils and by taking into account its preferential solvation by monomer and initiator.     

Gradient high performance liquid chromatography of block copolymers of styrene andt-butyl methacrylate II. Association phenomena in mixtures of block copolymer with polystyrene

Summary Block copolymers of styrene andt-butyl methacrylate can be analysed by methanol/tetrahydrofuran gradients on C18 or phenyl bonded phase columns. On both of these columns, retention increases with styrene content of the samples. At 50°C, the retention of PS or a block copolymer containing 45% styrene was longer on the phenyl than the C18 columns. This indicates the contribution of adsorption to retention on phenyl bonded phase columns. Lowering the temperature from 50 to 30°C caused earlier elution of part of the sample from the phenyl phase. On a C18 phase the same drop in temperature improved the shape of the peak, which also started later than at 50°C. This effect of temperature is generally observed in polymer retention due to an adsorption mechanism, whereas increasing retention with decrease in temperature is characteristic of a precipitation mechanism.The block copolymer investigated contained 15% free polystyrene precursor which could not be separated from the block copolymer under the conditions employed. The addition of 20% PS homopolymer with a molecular weight similar to that of the styrene block in the copolymer showed that the polystyrene eluted together with the block copolymer, whereas the addition of PS homopolymer with a much higher molecular weight caused an extra peak at the expected elution time.Part I see Ref.
