Kinetic model of reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in microemulsions

A simplified kinetic model for RAFT microemulsion polymerization has been developed to facilitate the investigation of the effects of slow fragmentation of the intermediate macro‐RAFT radical, termination reactions, and diffusion rate of the chain transfer agent to the locus of polymerization on the control of the polymerization and the rate of monomer conversion. This simplified model captures the experimentally observed decrease in the rate of polymerization, and the shift of the rate maximum to conversions less than the 39% conversion predicted by the Morgan model for uncontrolled microemulsion polymerizations. The model shows that the short, but finite, lifetime of the intermediate macro‐RAFT radical (1.3 × 10^?4–1.3 × 10^?2 s) causes the observed rate retardation in RAFT microemulsion polymerizations of butyl acrylate with the chain transfer agent methyl‐2‐(O‐ethylxanthyl)propionate. The calculated magnitude of the fragmentation rate constant (k_f = 4.0 × 10¹–4.0 × 10³ s^?1) is greater than the literature values for bulk RAFT polymerizations that only consider slow fragmentation of the macro‐RAFT radical and not termination (k_f = 10^?2 s^?1). This is consistent with the finding that slow fragmentation promotes biradical termination in RAFT microemulsion polymerizations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ADVANCES IN MICROEMULSION PHASE ON SELF-ASSEMBLY AND MICELLE EXTRACTION WITH BLOCK COPOLYMERS

In this paper we review our work on self-assembly of the system, poly（ethylene oxide）-poly（propylene oxide）-poly（elhylene oxide） （PEO-PPO-PEO） block copolymers, which is a kind of macromolecular complex fluids. The control of self-assembly could be obtained by adding inorganic salts or aliphatic alcohols. By self-assembly of amphiphilic block copelymers a microemulsion phase is formed which could be applied in micelle extraction, such as hollow-fiber membrane micelle extraction, magnetic micelle extraction and immobilized micelle extraction.     

Acrylamide inverse microemulsion polymerization in a paraffinic solvent: Rolling‐M‐245

The inverse microemulsion polymerization of acrylamide in a paraffinic solvent, Rolling‐M‐245, stabilized by a mixture of nonionic surfactants (Emulan‐ELP‐11 and Brij‐92), was studied. Pseudoternary phase diagrams of this system were determined, and a range of hydrophilic‐lipophilic balance (HLB) values, from 8.98 to 9.2, were selected as the most favorable for acrylamide polymerization. The influence of factors such as the initiator composition, HLB, percentage of the aqueous phase, and addition of the monomer by steps on the final conversion and polyacrylamide molar masses were investigated. High conversions and molar masses were generally obtained with the different formulations. The polyacrylamide molar masses were influenced by the HLB and content in the aqueous phase. The addition of the aqueous phase by steps led to a progressive diminution of the molar masses as the number of stages increased. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Direct determination of arsenic in petroleum derivatives by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry: A comparison between filter and platform atomizers

In the present work a direct method for the determination of arsenic in petroleum derivatives has been developed, comparing the performance of a commercial transversely heated platform atomizer (THPA) with that of a transversely heated filter atomizer (THFA). The THFA results in a reduction of background absorption and an improved sensitivity as has been reported earlier for this atomizer. The mixture of 0.1% (m/v) Pd + 0.03% (m/v) Mg + 0.05% (v/v) Triton X-100 was used as the chemical modifier for both atomizers. The samples (naphtha, gasoline and petroleum condensate) were stabilized in the form of a three-component solution (detergentless microemulsion) with the sample, propan-1-ol and 0.1% (v/v) HNO₃ in a ratio of 3.0:6.4:0.6. The characteristic mass of 13 pg found in the THFA was about a factor of two better than that of 28 pg obtained with the THPA; however, the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were essentially the same for both atomizers (1.9 and 6.2 μg L⁻¹, respectively, for THPA, and 1.8 and 5.9 μg L⁻¹, respectively, for THFA) due to the increased noise observed with the THFA. A possible explanation for that is a partial blockage of the radiation from the hollow cathode lamp by the narrow inner diameter of this tube and the associated loss of radiation energy. Due to the lack of an appropriate certified reference material, recovery tests were carried out with inorganic and organic arsenic standards and the results were between 89% and 111%. The only advantage of the THFA found in this work was a reduction of the total analysis time by about 20% due to the ‘hot injection’ that could be realized with this furnace. The arsenic concentrations varied from < LOQ to 43.3 μg L⁻¹ in the samples analyzed in this work.

Precipitation of hematite nanoparticles via reverse microemulsion process

Hematite nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via two processing routes:(i) conventional precipitation route and (ii) reverse microemulsion route.The particle precipitation was carried out in a semibatch reactor.A microemulsion system consisting of water,chloroform,1-butanol and surfactant was loaded with iron nitrates to form iron nanoparticles precipitation.The precipitation was performed in the single-phase microemulsion operating region.Three technical surfactants,with different structure and HLB value are employed.The influence of surfactant characterization on the size of produced iron oxide particle has been studied to gain a deeper understanding of the important controlling mechanisms in the formation of nanoparticles in a microemulsion.Transmission electron microscopy (TEM),surface area,pore volume,average pore diameter,pore size distribution and XRD were used to analyze the size,size distribution,shape and structure of precipitated iron nanoparticles.
