Novel Peroxide Containing Maleinate Surface-Active Monomers for Obtaining Reactive Polymers

Novel surface-active monomers were synthesized by successive treatment of tert-butylperoxy-6-hydroxyhexanoate with maleic anhydride, 1,3-propane sultone and triethylamine or with maleic anhydride and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether. The surface-active properties of monomers were studied. The critical micelle concentrations (cmc) as well as the surface tension at the cmc were determined for obtained monomers. The synthesized compounds were shown to be suitable reactive surfactants for obtaining styrene latexes.     

Colloidal systems containing free radical‐forming particles and composites on their basis

Controlled surface activity and reactivity of new carbon‐chain functional surface‐active oligoperoxides (FSAP) and derived metal complexes (OMC) with side and end di‐tertiary and tert‐alkyl (aryl) peroxidic, respectively, and other active functional groups cause the possibility of their tailored utilization as emulsifiers, surface‐active initiators and modifiers of the phase boundaries of liquid, solid and mixed phases in different colloidal systems in a wide temperature range. New materials can be developed such as water and hydrocarbon polymer dispersions, artificial water dispersions of unsaturated polyesters and alkyd resins, polymer/polymeric blends, active glass and carbon fibers, dispersed fillers, reinfourced and filled polymer composites with the definite special properties. Methods for the obtaining and the application of these materials are described.
