Poly(itaconic acid) was grafted on GG in aqueous medium under microwave irradiation using a catalytic amount of BPO. Grafted copolymers (GG-g-PIA) were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, and SEM techniques. The influence of microwave power, exposure time, and composition of the reaction mixture on extent of grafting was studied. Conditions for obtaining the highest extent of grafting were optimized. The rate of grafting was determined from weight measurements. The overall activation energy for grafting is found to be to be 28.3 kJ/mol, indicating the possibility of occurrence of the grafting process with absorption of low thermal energy.

Synthesis of a Modifier for Rubbers with Silica-filler by Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N-tert</Emphasis>-Butyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide with Trimethylolpropane Triglycidyl Ether and Characterization of the Reaction Product

Reaction of N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether was performed, and the product was characterized and studied as an additive to rubber. Interaction of this additive with rubber was studied by the method of equilibrium swelling. The additive was found to increase the amount of cross-links in the polymer matrix and to improve the process characteristics of rubber stocks with silica, decreasing their viscosity and vulcanization time and enhancing the resistance to scorching. The use of this additive allows preparation of vulcanized rubbers with higher modulus, compared to the rubbers modified with the product of the reaction of methacrylic acid with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether.     

Radiation-Induced Grafting of Ethyl Vinyl Ether onto Polyvinyl Chloride)

The radiation-induced graft polymerization of ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) onto polyvinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied under a variety of conditions. Graft copolymer and homopoly(EVE) were formed in all cases. The presence of water reduced overall polymerization rates, percentage grafting, and homopoly(EVE) molecular weights. With “superdry” EVE, grafting reached 29% at a total dose of 6.9 Mrad. Grafting to PVC films was less efficient than grafting to PVC powder. Application of a relatively poor swelling agent for PVC resulted in an increase in the efficiency of grafting. From a comparison of studies of radiation-induced EVE homopolymerization and the present work, it was concluded that dry and superdry EVE are grafted to PVC by a cationic mechanism and wet EVE is grafted mainly by a free-radical mechanism.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Hyperbranched Polyesters Based on Isophthalic Acid and Trimethylolpropane

Hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyesters (HBPEs) with aromatic/aliphatic structure were synthesized at three different monomer mole ratios (A₂/B₃=1, 0.9, and 0.6, respectively) by melt polycondensation of isophthalic acid and trimethylolpropane via A₂+ B₃ approach. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated that the expected HBPEs, which showed excellent solubility in a variety of polar solvents such as N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and terahydrofuran (THF), were produced without gelation during the polymerization. The weight-average molecular weight of HBPEs ranged from 7014 to 8306 and their inherent viscosities were varied from 0.17 to 0.34 dL/g. The degree of branching of the HBPEs was estimated to be 0.39–0.49 by¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR measurement. Their glass transition temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was between 64 and 86°C. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement revealed that HBPEs had ca 8.5% weight-loss at 300°C in N₂.     

Improved Conductivity in Gellan Gum and Montmorillonite Nanocomposites Electrolytes

Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NPEs) were obtained using gellan gum (GG) and 1 to 40 wt.% of montmorillonite (Na⁺SYN-1) clay. The NPEs were crosslinked with formaldehyde, plasticized with glycerol, and contained LiClO₄. The samples were characterized by impedance spectroscopy, thermal analyses (TGA and DSC), UV-vis transmittance and reflectance, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR). The NPEs of GG and 40 wt.% LiClO₄ showed the highest conductivity of 2.14 × 10⁻⁶ and 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm at 30 and 80 °C, respectively. The samples with 10 wt.% Na⁺SYN-1 had a conductivity of 1.86 × 10⁻⁵ and 3.74 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm at 30 and 80 °C, respectively. TGA analyses revealed that the samples are thermally stable up to 190 °C and this did not change with clay addition. The transparency of the samples decreased with the increase in the clay content and at the same time their reflectance increased. Finally, CW-EPR was performed to identify the coordination environment of Cu²⁺ ions in the GG NPEs. The samples doped with the lowest copper concentration exhibit the typical EPR spectra due to isolated Cu²⁺ ions in axially distorted sites. At high concentrations, the spectra become isotropic because of dipolar and exchange magnetic effects. In summary, GG/clay NPEs presented good ionic conductivity results, which qualifies them for electrochemical device applications.     

Characterization and Studies on Grafting of Methyl Methacrylate onto PAN Fibers

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto commercial acrylic fibers (PAN) has been studied using Azobis(isobutyro)nitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. MMA grafting initiated by radicals formed from thermal decomposition of AIBN. In this study, the effects of monomer and initiator concentration, time and temperature reaction on the grafting yield have been investigated.

The optimum conditions for this grafting reaction were obtained with an MMA concentration of 0.7 M, an AIBN concentration of 0.0073 M, a reaction temperature of T=85°C and with a 60 min reaction time.

The fiber structure has been investigated by different experimental techniques of characterization such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), calorimetric analysis (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water absorption and the physical and mechanical properties has also been investigated in this study. The thermal analysis data showed that by increasing grafting yield, little changes have occurred in fibers samples up to 13.5% of grafting yield and the thermal transitions of grafted fibers have approximately the same behavior compared with the raw fibers sample. Grafting also slightly affected the fiber morphology. The experimental data of mechanical properties clearly show that by increasing grafting yield, max extension will decrease but this change up to 13.5% grafting yield is barely noticeable. Grafting of poly MMA improved water absorption.

Surface Grafting onto Barium Sulfate: Polymerization of Acrylamide Initiated by the System Consisting of Alcoholic Hydroxyl Groups on the Surface and Ceric Ion

Abstract

To modify the surface of barium sulfate, the grafting of polymers onto the surface by the polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) initiated by the system consisting of eerie ion and alcoholic hydroxyl groups on the surface was investigated. Barium sulfate modified by 12-hydroxystearate (BaSO₄-HS) was prepared by the reaction of barium chloride with sodium sulfate containing a small amount of sodium 12-hydroxystearate. The presence of 12-hydroxystearate groups on the BaSO₄ surface was confirmed by XPS analysis and infrared spectra. It was found that the graft polymerization of AAm is initiated by the system consisting of eerie ion and BaSO₄-HS to give poly (AAm)-grafted BaSO₄. This indicated that the grafted polymer chains are propagated from surface radicals formed by the redox reaction of eerie ion with 12-hydroxystearate groups on the surface. The polymerization rate (R _p) of AAm initiated by the redox system was given by R _p = k[AAm][Ce(IV)][BaSO₄-HS] where k is constant, [AAm] is AAm concentration, [Ce(IV)] is cerie ion concentration, and [BaSO₄-HS] is BaSO₄-HS concentration. The result suggested that in such an initiating system, the unimolecular termination of growing polymer radicals from the surface of BaSO₄ proceeds preferentially. Furthermore, by grafting of poly(AAm) onto the BaSO₄-HS surface, the wettability of the surface was found to turn from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

Radiation Induced Double Grafting of Polybutadiene Olygomers and Styrene onto Silica: Characterization of the Materials and Mechanistic Studies

Ionizing radiations from a 60-Co source have been employed for inducing radical reactions finally leading to the grafting of unsaturated olygomers and vinyl monomers onto the surface and micropores of precipitated silica Zeosil 1165 (150–170 m²/g). The target was to obtain modified silica with enhanced polar compatibility with respect to polybutadiene and styrene-butadiene copolymers rubber matrices and suited to favour the formation of chemically bound rubber in a vulcanization process. The latter property was expected to follow from the characteristics of free radical reactivity arising from the unsaturations present in the organic coating. Three classes of modified silica have been prepared: A)silica coated with polybutadiene olygomers with M_n in the range 1000–5000 and having a different relative content of 1,4-cis, 1,4-trans and vinyl double bonds 1 ; B)Silica coated with polybutadiene olygomers further modified by subsequent grafting of styrene monomer. The type A samples were obtained by γ irradiation under vacuum of silica samples pre-impregnated with the oligomers in the dose range up to 30–200 kGy. Type B samples were obtained via three different steps as outlined in the scheme below:
