Preparation and characterization of azlactone functionalized polymer supports and their application as scavengers

A series of cross-linked porous copolymer supports based on N-(p-vinylbenzoyl)-2-methylalanine (VBM), styrene and divinylbenzene was prepared by aqueous suspension copolymerization in the presence of butan-2-ol used as porogen. The cross-linked copolymer beads were characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR and confocal Raman spectrometries. It was observed that the VBM incorporation was effective and homogeneous within the beads. Those VBM functionalized supports were converted into azlactone functionalized supports using acetic anhydride and their scavenging efficiency towards different amines was measured. It appeared that 90% of benzylamine was quenched after 5 h.     

Oil‐absorbent beads containing β‐cyclodextrin moieties: preparation via suspension polymerization and high oil absorbency

A novel type of polymeric beads with high oil absorbency was prepared via suspension polymerization technique. For this purpose, β‐cyclodextrin with vinyl groups (β‐CD‐MA) was first synthesized from β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and glycidyl methacrylate, and identified by FT‐IR and ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy analyses. Suspension polymerizations were carried out with styrene and stearyl acrylate as co‐monomers, β‐CD‐MA as cross‐linking agent, poly(vinylalcohol) as stabilizer and azoisobutyronitrile as initiator, providing polymeric beads in a quantitative yield. The oil‐absorbent beads had a porous structure and exhibited high oil absorbency: 55 times the dry weight in toluene, 52 times in xylene, 75 times in CHCl₃ and 102 times in CCl₄. The novel beads also showed high absorbency toward toluene from a toluene/water mixture, demonstrating the potential applications of such novel oil‐absorbent beads for cleaning organic contaminations from water.

Synthesis of porous divinylbiphenyl copolymers and their sorptive properties towards phenol and its derivatives

Seven porous divinylbiphenyl polymers having the same nominal crosslinking degree (51.8 wt.%) have been synthesized using suspension polymerization method in the presence of the following inert diluents or their mixtures: toluene, heptane, dodecane, isooctane. The use of various inert diluents was aimed at changing the extent of polymeric network-diluent interactions. The obtained polymers have specific surface area in the range 50-300 m²/g depending on the type and amount of inert diluents used during polymerization. Their sorptive properties have been studied using dilute (0.5 mmol/l) aqueous solutions of phenol and its derivatives (2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, 4-hydroxyphenol). It has been found that sorption, at low equilibrium concentration, follows the order: 2,4,5-trichlorophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenol > 2-chlorophenol > 2,6-dimethylphenol > phenol > 4-hydroxyphenol. Full characteristic of the porous structure of polymers has been obtained by nitrogen adsorption at 77K.

Surfactant‐free synthesis of amphiphilic diblock copolymer in aqueous phase by a self‐stability process

Amphiphilic polymeric particles with hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells were prepared via living radical emulsion polymerization of styrene using a water‐soluble poly(acrylamide)‐based macro‐RAFT agent in aqueous solution in the absence of any surfactants. Firstly, the homopolymerization of acrylamide (AM) was carried out in aqueous phase by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization (RAFT) using a trithiocarbonate as a chain transfer agent. Then the PAM‐based macro‐RAFT agent has been used as a water‐soluble macromolecular chain transfer agent in the batch emulsion polymerization of Styrene (St) free of surfactants. The RAFT controlled growth of hydrophobic block led to the formation of well‐defined poly(acrylamide)‐copolystyrene amphiphilic copolymer, which was able to work as a polymeric stabilizer (self‐stability). Finally, very stable latex was prepared, having no visible phase separation for several months. FTIR and ¹H‐NMR measurements showed that the product was the block copolymer PAM‐co‐PS in the form of stable latex. Atomic force microscope (AFM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies indicated that the nanoparticles have a narrow particle size distribution and the average particle hydrodynamic radius was kept in the diameter of 58 nm. Core‐shell structure of the copolymer was also recorded by TEM. The mechanism of the self‐stability of polymer particles during the polymerization in the absence of surfactants was studied. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of diacrylic/divinylbenzene copolymers

In this article, synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of diacrylic/divinylbenzene copolymers based on the new aromatic tetrafunctional acrylate monomers are presented. The new monomers were generated by treatment of epoxides derived from various aromatic diols: naphthalene-2,3-diol (NAF), biphenyl-4,4′-diol (BIF), bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methanone (BEP) or 4,4′-thiodiphenol (BES), and epichlorohydrin with acrylic acid. The addition reaction was carried out by a ratio of 0.5 mol of suitable epoxy derivative and 1 mol of acrylic acid in the presence of 0.7 wt% of triethylbenzylammonia chloride (TEBAC) as a catalyst and 0.045 wt% of hydroquinone as a polymerization inhibitor. The chemical structure of the prepared acrylate monomers was confirmed by ¹³C NMR and GC MS spectra. The emulsion–suspension polymerization of acrylate monomers with divinylbenzene (DVB) in the presence of pore-forming diluents (toluene + decan-1-ol) allowed obtaining microspheres containing pendant functional groups (hydroxyl groups). This process was carried out at constant mol ratio of acrylate monomers: DVB (1:1), and constant volume ratio of pore-forming diluents to monomers (1:1). The different concentrations of toluene in the mixture with decan-1-ol were used for qualifying the effect of the diluents on the microsphere characteristics. The influence of synthesis’s parameters on the properties of copolymer beads, e.g., pore size and surface area by BET method, the surface texture by AFM, swelling behavior in polar and non-polar solvents as well as thermal stability by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) was studied and discussed.     

Thermo-responsive polymer brush-grafted porous polystyrene beads for all-aqueous chromatography

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) brush-grafted porous polystyrene beads with variable grafted polymer densities were prepared using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for applications in thermo-responsive chromatography. Utilization of these grafted beads as a stationary phase in aqueous chromatographic analysis of insulin provides a graft density-dependent analyte retention behavior. The separations calibration curve on PIPAAm-grafted polystyrene was obtained using pullulan standards and exhibited inflection points attributed to analyte diffusion into bead pores and partitioning into grafted PIPAAm brush surfaces. Presence of these inflection points supports a separation mechanism where insulin penetrates pores in polystyrene beads and hydrophobically interacts with PIPAAm brushes grafted within the pores. Control of PIPAAm brush graft density on polystyrene facilitates effective aqueous phase separation of peptides based on thermally modulated hydrophobic interactions with grafted PIPAAm within stationary phase pores. These results indicated that PIPAAm brush-grafted porous polystyrene beads prepared by surface-initiated ATRP was effective stationary phase of thermo-responsive chromatography for aqueous phase peptide separations.     

Suspension polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate: a route for swellable spherical gel beads with controlled hydrophilicity and functionality

 Spherical and swellable gel beads were obtained by the suspension polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate macromonomer (PEG-MA). The average size and size distribution properties, the equilibrium swelling behaviour and the protein adsorption characteristics of PEG-MA-based gel beads were determined. In the suspension polymerization system, the organic phase including monomer, cross-linker and diluent solution was dispersed in an aqueous medium by using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) as the stabilizer. The diluent solution was prepared by mixing cyclohexanol and octanol at different volume ratios. The suspension polymerization experiments were designed in two separate parts. In the first part, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was selected as the cross-linker and swellable PEG-MA-based gel beads were obtained by changing the cross-linker concentration, the monomer/diluent ratio and the stirring rate. In the second part, a more hydrophobic structure, divinylbenzene (DVB) was tried as a cross-linker. In this part, PEG-MA-DVB copolymer beads were obtained by changing the DVB/PEG-MA feed ratio. Then, the hydrophicility of the resulting gel beads could be controlled by changing the feed ratio of hydrophilic macromonomer to hydrophobic cross-linker. This property was also used to control the extent of nonspecific protein adsorption onto the surface of the gel beads. The non specific albumin adsorption onto the gel beads decreased with increasing PEG-MA content. No significant nonspecific adsorption at the isoelectric point of albumin was detected onto the gel beads produced with the higher PEG-MA/DVB feed ratios. For specific albumin adsorption, a triazinyl dye (i.e., cibacron blue, CB F3G-A) was covalently attached onto the surface of the copolymer beads via terminal hydroxyl groups of PEG-MA. The results of albumin adsorption experiments with the CB F3G-A carrying beads indicated that an appreciable specific albumin adsorption capacity could be obtained with the gel beads produced with a PEG-MA/DVB feed ratio of 1.5/4.0.

Effects of acrylonitrile water solubility on limiting conversion and copolymer composition in suspension polymerization

The effects of acrylonitrile (AN) water solubility on the limiting conversion and copolymer composition of the AN and AN/vinylidene chloride (VDC) suspension polymerization were investigated. It was found that AN dissolved in aqueous phase does not transfer back to oil phase in AN suspension homopolymerization but partially does in AN/VDC suspension copolymerization, and thus the limiting conversion is lowered and decreases with water/oil ratio increasing in both AN and AN/VDC suspension polymerization. For the continuous transport of AN in aqueous phase to oil phase during suspension polymerization, the composition distribution of AN/VDC copolymer prepared by suspension polymerization is narrower than that by bulk polymerization. The calculated composition of AN/VDC suspension copolymer with considering AN water solubility is consistent with the experimental data.     

Concanavalin A Binding on PHEMA Beads and Their Interactions with Myeloma Cells

The aim of this study is to prepare concanavalin A (Con A) bound poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) beads for cell affinity chromatography. In the first step, PHEMA beads were produced by suspension polymerization, and activated by cyanogen bromide (CNBr) in an alkaline medium (pH 11.5), and then, the bio-ligand “Con A” was attached by covalent binding onto the CNBr activated beads. PHEMA beads were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area and pore size measurements. The PHEMA beads have a spherical shape and porous structure. The specific surface area of the PHEMA beads was found to be 39.7 m²/g with a size range of 150–200 μm in diameter and the swelling ratio was 55%. The amount of bound Con A was controlled by changing pH and the initial concentrations of CNBr and Con A. The non-specific adsorption of Con A on the plain PHEMA beads was 0.1 mg/g. The maximum Con A binding was 4.8 mg/g at pH 7.25. Both plain and Con A bound PHEMA beads were interacted first with the myeloma cell suspension in phosphate buffer. Myeloma cell attachment was very low for the plain PHEMA beads, while the number of myeloma cells attached increased almost 20 fold when the Con A bound beads were used. In order to look at whether or not the interaction of the Con A bound PHEMA beads and myeloma cells are affected from the biological molecules and other cells in the medium. We selected sheep blood itself as the medium, and mixed with the myeloma cell suspension and changed the environment. Cell adhesion decreased but not very significantly by changing the medium from simple buffer to sheep blood.     

Thermally Regenerable Ion-Exchange Resins by Photografting

Crosslinked polymer beads containing regions of acidic and basic groups are the preferred structures for the efficient operation of a thermally regenerable ion-exchange process. Such systems can be prepared by various methods. Here the approach of using polymers and copolymers containing photo-labile groups as grafting sites is described. The polymers studied were polytriallylamine hydrochloride (polyTAA) and copolymers of propyldiallylamine hydrochloride (PDAA) and allyl benzoin methyl ether (ABME), of ABME and acrylic acid (AA), and of ABME and methyl acrylate (MA). The maximum amount of photografting of MA onto polyTAA was 12%. Very little photografting of MA onto PDAA:ABME copolymers was obtained. Photografting of TAA to AA:ABME and to MA:ABME copolymers occurred readily by using radiation of 360 nm wavelength, with the best yields of photografted polymer being about 60% when a MA:ABME copolymer was irradiated in a suspension. The effect of suspending medium, stirring rate, irradiation time, irradiation intensity, solvent, solids concentration, percentage of ABME in the MA:ABME copolymer, additional crosslinkers, surfactants, and the acid:base ratio in the hy-drolyzed resin prepared by photografting TAA onto MA:ABME copolymers on the yield, physical strength, shape, and ion-exchange properties of the resins is reported.     

Synthesis, porous structure, and underwater acoustic properties of macroporous cross-linked copolymer beads

The macroporous and elastomeric beads from polyurethane acrylate (PUA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), and styrene (St) are prepared by suspension polymerization using n-heptane as porogen and 1,2-divinylbenzene (DVB) as cross-linking agent. The scanning electronic microscope results show that the beads of PUA–EMA–St cross-linked copolymers have many large pores on their surfaces and interiors, and the macroporous sizes are dependent of the copolymer composition and the dosages of cross-linking agents and porogen. Average porous diameters decrease as the dosages of DVB increase and the contents of PUA and porogen decrease. The cross-linked copolymers have two kinds of beads (one with many larger holes on the surface and another with much smaller pores or without pore), when the ratio of PUA to EMA and St is from 6/4 to 4/6. The macroporous and elastomeric beads can improve the underwater acoustic absorption properties of the polyurethane/epoxy (PU/EP) blend elastomer, and the underwater acoustic properties of the composites based on PU/EP blend elastomer and the beads depend mainly on the amounts of the beads and the dosages of porogen.     

Production of porous suspension polymers using a continuous tubular reactor

The conventional method for the synthesis of porous cross-linked copolymer beads is by suspension polymerisation. Suspension polymerisation reactions are generally performed in a stirred tank, which generally results in a large size distribution. By careful control of the polymerisation conditions, polymer beads can be produced using a tubular poly(tetrafluoroethylene) continuous reactor. Such beads are produced with the same average pore size, but with a lower degree of polydispersity than analogous systems produced in a batch reactor (stirred tank). This is achieved by density-matching the droplet and continuous phases (by the use of a brominated monomer or a porogenic diluent) and increasing the viscosity of the monomer phase (with the addition of small amounts of polystyrene).

Adsorption properties of amidoximated porous acrylonitrile/methyl acrylate copolymer beads for Ag (I)

Porous a crylonitrile (AN)/methyl acrylate (MA) copolymer beads were synthesized by suspended emulsion polymerization and amidoximated for the purpose of Ag⁺ adsorption. Optimum amidoximation temperature and time were determined by following the adsorption capacity for Ag⁺. The results showed that amidoximated AN/MA (AO AN/MA) with the amidoximation temperature 70°C and amidoximation time 20 hr had a relatively higher adsorption capacity for Ag⁺. The effect of pH on adsorption for Ag⁺ was studied; the highest adsorption capacity presented at pH 5.0. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms of AO AN/MA copolymer beads for Ag⁺ were also investigated. The kinetics data indicated that the adsorption process was governed by the film diffusion and followed both pseudo‐first‐order and pseudo‐second‐order rate model. The isotherms indicated that adsorption capacities increased with equilibrium concentration and temperature. The Langmuir model and Sips model could describe the isothermal process. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption behaviors of Ag⁺ ions on AO AN/MA could be considered as endothermic and physical sorption process. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and characterization of monodisperse superparamagnetic poly(vinyl alcohol) beads by reverse spray suspension crosslinking

A novel protocol for preparing magnetic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) beads by reverse spray suspension crosslinking was reported. The hydrophilic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were mixed with PVA, glutaraldehyde, and water to form aqueous phase. Then the aqueous phase was sprayed into vegetable oil by a pressure of nitrogen gas to form water in oil (W/O) suspension. The magnetic PVA beads were obtained in the presence of hydrochloric acid catalyst. It was found that the magnetic PVA beads obtained good properties when the PVA concentration was 10%, and the oil phase temperature was controlled at 40 °C. The mechanical stirring has little impact on the size of magnetic PVA beads in the process of reverse spray suspension crosslinking. The Cibacron Blue (CB) was coupled on the surface of magnetic PVA beads by surface chemical reaction. The morphology, size, and magnetic properties of the magnetic PVA beads were examined by scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer, respectively. Compared with the stirring method, it was found that the size of magnetic PVA beads was monodisperse and their saturation magnetization was much higher. Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy experimental results proved that CB molecules were covalently immobilized onto the surface of the magnetic PVA beads. Meanwhile, the protein affinity separation experiments demonstrated that the magnetic PVA beads can potentially be used as a carrier for large‐scale protein separation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
