Synthesis and Esterification of 3‐Ferrocenyl Acrylic Acid in Ionic Liquid

3‐Ferrocenyl acrylic acid, synthesized from ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and propandioic acid in water‐insoluble ionic liquid (1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [BMIM]PF₆) at 85 °C in high yield, was transformed to a series of 3‐ferrocenyl acrylate of alcohols and phenols in water‐soluble ionic liquid (1,3‐dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate, [DMIM]Me₂PO₄) at room temperature in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4‐dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP).     

Optimal estimation of reactivity ratios for acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymerization

Reactivity ratios for the important acrylamide (AAm)/acrylic acid (AAc) copolymerization system exhibit considerable scatter in previously published literature, and therefore, there is a need for more definitive values for these reactivity ratios. An appropriate methodology, based on the error‐in‐variables‐model (EVM) framework along with a direct numerical integration procedure, is applied in order to determine reliable reactivity ratios. The reliability of the results is confirmed with extensive and independent replication. Furthermore, via an EVM‐based criterion for the design of experiments using mechanistic models, optimal feed compositions are calculated, and from these optimal reactivity ratios are estimated for the first time (r_AAm = 1.33 and r_AAc = 0.23) based on information from the full conversion range. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies on Micellization of a Polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) Copolymer in Aqueous Media by Pyrene Fluorescence

The aggregation of amphiphilic block copolymers is a crucial phenomenon that controls various applications, and has been extensively treated in the literature1-3. Pyrene is a widely used fluorescence probe for the relative intensities of the vibrational fine structure (five bands) of its fluorescence spectra have been found to be sensitive to the polarity of its environment, the so-called Ham effect4. We report the studies of the aggregation properties of a PS-b-PAA copolymer using pyrene …     

An acrylic acid modified polypropylene as a compatibilizing agent for the intercalation/exfoliation of an organically modified montmorillonite in polypropylene

This work dealt with the effect of using an acrylic acid modified polypropylene (PP‐g‐AA) as a compatibilizing agent for the intercalation/exfoliation of an organically modified montmorillonite (o‐MMT) in a polypropylene matrix (PP). Two PP‐g‐AA containing the same AA content (6 wt %) and having different molar masses were used. The o‐MMT content was 0, 1, or 5 wt % of total mass and the PP‐g‐AA/o‐MMT mass ratio was 0/1, 1/1, 2/1, or 5/1. Results of wide angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS) and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) showed that without the PP‐g‐AA, the o‐MMT was dispersed in the PP/o‐MMT in a micrometer scale, similar to a conventional microcomposite. With the PP‐g‐AA, the o‐MMT was much better dispersed and its interlayers were intercalated and partly exfoliated by the polymer chains. Compared with the neat PP, some PP/PP‐g‐AA/o‐MMT systems exhibited higher G′ values and a yield stress at low frequencies, indicating that the PP‐g‐AA promoted the intercalation/exfoliation of the o‐MMT. The compatibilizing efficiency of those two PP‐g‐AA was very similar. Generally speaking, the higher the PP‐g‐AA/o‐MMT mass ratio, the better the state of dispersion and the degree of intercalation/exfoliation. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparison of fuel cell performance of selected fluoropolymer and hydrocarbon based grafted copolymers incorporating acrylic acid and styrene sulfonic acid

Fuel cell tests have been carried out on ion exchange membranes produced by the radiation grafting of either acrylic acid or styrene monomers (followed by a sulphonation reaction) onto selected hydrocarbon and fluoropolymer films. Relationships between the membranes' intrinsic properties, composition, ion exchange capacity and equilibrium water content and their respective fuel cell performance have been established.

A Safety Strategy for Producing Poly(Acrylic Acid) of Low Molar Mass

The synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of low molar mass under safe conditions is difficult due to the high polymerization rate of acrylic acid (AA) and the fast heat generation. The aqueous‐solution “semibatch” polymerization of non‐ionized AA in almost starved conditions involves high initiator loads when low molar masses are required. This article proposes the simultaneous feeding of AA and nonconventional chain transfer agents (CTA) as a strategy aimed at controlling both the molar masses and the generated heat rate. Three CTAs are investigated: 2‐mercaptoethanol, thioglycolic acid, and isopropyl alcohol. Even when PAA of relatively low molar mass can be produced by adequately selecting the flow rates and concentrations of both AA and CTA, it is found that the nature of CTA can have a significant effect on the polymerizations kinetics. The mechanisms responsible for these effects are discussed with the help of a representative mathematical model.
