热敏性功能材料聚N-乙烯基己内酰胺的辐射聚合

具有低临界相变温度（LCST）的温度敏感性高聚物是一类特殊热性能的高聚物。当环境温度低于LCST时,其在溶液中的溶解性会随着温度升高缓慢降低。但一旦温度升高到LCST附近很小范围里,其溶解性会突然降低,出现热沉降,而且这种变化是可逆的。这类高聚物中研究较多也最具代表性的是聚N－异丙基丙烯酰胺（PNIPAAm）和聚N-乙烯基己内酰胺（PNVCL）,因为这两种聚合物的LCST都处于生理温度范围内（30－40℃）,使它们的系列高聚物在生物和医药材料中有极其广泛的应用前景^[1,2]。相比而言,PNVCL的研究与应用不PNIPAAm开展得早和完善,但其具有比PNIPAAm更好的生物相容性。所以近年来在生物大分子的分离、浓集、固定化以及药物的包埋和缓释等方面对PNVCL的研究也逐渐开展起来^[3,4,5]。目前,热敏性PNVCL高聚物主要采用化学法合成^[6,7],辐射合成几乎未见报道。为此,本文采用γ辐射聚合聚N－乙烯基己内酰胺（PNVCL）的可溶性链状高聚物。研究辐射条件对其热敏性、平均分子量等的影响。     

Radiation synthesis of a water-soluble temperature sensitive polymer, activated copolymer and applications in immobilization of proteins

In this work the radiation polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) in aqueous solutions has been carried out and a water-soluble, temperature sensitive polymer and copolymer were obtained by using γ-rays from Co-60 source at room temperature. We have gained the optimum dose and dose—rate of radiation synthesis of linear polyNIPAAM through determining conversion yield and viscosity. In order to immobilize protein (BSA) and enzyme (HRP) into this water-soluble polymer, we prepared an activated copolymer, poly ( N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-acryloxysuccinimide). The BSA and HRP has been immobilized onto the activated copolymer. The BSA (HRP) / copolymer conjugates still kept the original thermally sensitive properties of the linear polyNIPAAM. The conjugation yield of BSA to the activated copolymer decreased with increasing of dose. The thermal stability of the immobilized HRP was stable at 0 °C for a long time and has, at least, 4 days stability at room temperature. Immobilized HRP activity was lowered when the temperature was raised above its LCST. This phenomenon was reversible and the immobilized HRP regained activity below its LCST. The optimum pH of the immobilized HRP shifted from ca.5 upward to ca.7.     

Three-dimensional polymer gel dosimetry: basic physical properties of the dosimeter

This study concentrated on assessment of the basic physical properties of a polymer gel dosimeter evaluated by NMR. For this, BANG-2 type polymer gel was prepared. The dosimeters were irradiated by ⁶⁰Co gamma photons and by 4, 6 and 18 MV X-ray photons for doses in the range 0–50 Gy. The multi-echo CPMG sequence was used for the evaluation of T₂-relaxation times in the irradiated gel dosimeters. Dependence of 1/T₂ in terms of the following factors was studied: absorbed dose, energy of applied radiation, temperature during NMR evaluation, time between irradiation and NMR evaluation and strength of the magnetic field. An exponential dependence of the 1/T₂ response on absorbed dose in the range 0–50 Gy was observed, while in the range 0–10 Gy the data could be fitted by a linear function. This paper also describes the dependence of 1/T₂ response on: radiation energy, strength of magnetic field and time from irradiation of the dosimeters to NMR evaluation. Increase of gel dosimeter 1/T₂ response with the decrease of the temperature during NMR evaluation has been qantitatively described. The polymer gel dosimetry system used in this study proved that it is a reliable system for three-dimensional dose distribution measurement.     

Vinyl-polymerization of norbornene with novel anilido–imino nickel complexes/methylaluminoxane: Abnormal influence of polymerization temperature on molecular weight of polynorbornenes

Herein reported are investigations of norbornene polymerization by novel anilido–imino nickel complexes [(Ar¹NCHC₆H₄NAr²)NiBr]₂ (Ar¹ = Ar² = 2,6-dimethylphenyl, 1; Ar¹ = 2,6-dimethylphenyl, Ar² = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, 2; Ar¹ = Ar² = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, 3; Ar¹ = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, Ar² = 2,6-dimethylphenyl, 4) activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO). It was found that at polymerization temperatures below 50 °C, the average molecular weights of the obtained polynorbornenes catalyzed by these four catalytic systems increase with raising temperature, displaying bimodal distribution in GPC curves. The abnormal influence of polymerization temperature could be attributed to the existence of two kinds of catalytic species: heterobimetallic species LNi(II)(μ-Me)₂AlMe₂ (I) and monometallic species LNi(II)Me (II) (L = anilido–imino ligand) at lower temperature. The former affords a lower molecular weight polymer and the latter higher molecular weight one. With raising polymerization temperature above 50 °C, the species I disappears and only species II exists in polymerization systems, resulting in a normal relation of molecular weight to polymerization temperature. From a kinetic study of the norbornene polymerization catalyzed by 1/MAO catalyst at 70 °C, the polymerization rate (R_p) can be expressed by the formulation: R_p = k[NBE]^1.93[Ni]^0.88. Moreover, the mechanism of the norbornene polymerization using the anilido–imino nickel complexes activated with MAO is also presented and discussed.

Radiation preparation and swelling behavior of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogels

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a kind of degraded polymer under γ-irradiation. However, in this work, it has been found that CMC crosslinks partially to form hydrogel by radiation technique at more than 20% CMC aqueous solution. The gel fraction increases with the dose. The crosslinking reaction of CMC is promoted in the presence of N₂ or N₂O due to the increase of free radicals on CMC backbone, but gel fraction of CMC hydrogel is not high (<40%). Some important values related to this kind of new CMC hydrogel synthesized under different conditions, such as radiation yield of crosslinking G(x), gelation dose R_g, number average molecular weight of network M_c were calculated according to the Charlesby–Pinner equation. The results indicated that although crosslinked CMC hydrogel could be prepared by radiation method, the rate of radiation degradation of CMC was faster than that of radiation crosslinking due to the character of CMC itself. Swelling dynamics of CMC hydrogel and its swelling behavior at different conditions, such as acidic, basic, inorganic salt as well as temperature were also investigated. Strong acidity, strong basicity, small amount of inorganic salts and lower temperature can reduce swelling ratio.     

Alkaline Zn-air and Al-air cells based on novel solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes

High ionic conducting solid polymer electrolyte membranes (SPEM) had been successfully prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The solution casting method yielded highly hydrophilic membranes with uniform structure that were suitable for electrochemical applications. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the alkaline PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes was in the range of 0.142–0.301 S cm⁻¹ depending on the composition. The cyclic voltammetry analysis was carried out using Zn|SPEM|Zn and Al|SPEM|Al cells. The analysis results revealed the excellent electrochemical stability of these newly developed alkaline solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes. Metal-air fuel cells were also prepared from the alkaline solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes. The electrochemical cell performance was evaluated based on Zn-air and Al-air cells at C/10 and C/5 discharge rates. The experimental results exhibited high percent of utilization for metal powders at room temperature. It was up to 90% for Zn-air cell when assembled with PVA:PAA = 10:7.5 polymer electrolyte membrane and discharged at C/10 rate. The power density could be as high as 50 mW cm⁻² at room temperature. However, the cell percent utilization was reduced to 73% with the same composition electrolyte membrane when C/5 discharge rate was tested.     

Gamma Radiation-Induced Template Polymerization of Acrylic Acid in the Presence of Polyactrylamide

Abstract

Poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid) resin p(AM-AA) was prepared by gamma radiation-induced polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of polyacrylamide as a template polymer. The polymerization was studied by a free radical mechanism at different experimental conditions such as: absorbed dose, monomer concentration, polymer/monomer molar ratio and the weight-average molecular weight or the swelling degree of added polymer. The resin was obtained at dose > 10 KGy and there is no significant change in the swelling degree of the resin. The results showed that the capacity of the resin increases by increasing the monomer concentration, the weight-average molecular weight of the added polymer and decreases by increasing polymer/monomer molar ratio and the swelling degree of the added polymer. It was also found that the capacity of the resin depends on the radiation dose.     

Radiation-induced solid-state polymerization of derivatives of methacrylic acid. II. Postirradiation polymerization of octadecyl methacrylate

Octadecyl methacrylate (mpc ≈ 12°C.) polymerized readily in the solid state in the temperature range ?30 to +12°C. after gamma irradiation at ?196°C. The initial rate of polymerization and the “limiting” conversion increased with radiation dose and temperature. The temperature dependence of the rate corresponded to an “apparent” activation energy of 20 kcal./mole. Difficulties were experienced with polymerization during separation of the polymer from residual monomer, but these were minimized by using low radiation doses and a hot, selective solvent. The maximum conversion achieved was 70%. The polymer was crosslinked, even at low conversions.     

Living free‐radical polymerization of styrene under a constant source of γ radiation

Living polymerization of styrene was observed using γ radiation as a source of initiation and 1‐phenylethyl phenyldithioacetate as a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent. The γ radiation had little or no detrimental effect on the RAFT agent, with the molecular weight of the polymer increasing linearly with conversion (up to the maximum measured conversions of 30%). The polymerization had kinetics (polym.) consistent with those of a living polymerization (first order in monomer) and proportional to the square root of the radiation‐dose rate. This initiation technique may facilitate the grafting of narrow polydispersity, well‐defined polymers onto existing polymer surfaces as well as allow a wealth of kinetic experiments using the constant radical flux generated by γ radiation. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

SYNTHESIS OF POLY(VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) WITH LOW CONTENTS OF HEAD-TO-HEAD CHAIN

The relations between polymerization conditions of vinylidene fluoride and contents of head-tohead chain in the polymer have been studied. It shows that the contents of head-to-head chain of the polymer are related to its polymerization temperature, but are not related with the kinds of initiators used. Therefore, poly(vinylidene fluoride) with low contents of head-to-head chain (ca. 3%) can be prepared under lower polymerization temperature. Plot of the contents of A chains against melting points of the polymer is linear, which can be expressed by an equation: A=24.8 + 0.362 T_m(%).     

Radiation curing of methacryloyloxyalkyl carbonates

The results of studying the radiation curing of methacryloyloxyalkyl carbonates (MC), a new type of oligomer, are presented. These oligomers are notable for their high rates of radiation curing. The radiation yield G(–M) is 2 × 10⁵ for MC and 2 × 10⁴ for triethylene glycol dimethyacrylate. The polymerization rate of MC appeared to be proportional, independent of the conversion degree, to the irradiation dose rate in the power of 0.9–1.0 (for dose rates ranging from 0.4 to 15 rad/s). In regard to the temperature dependence of the polymerization rate of MC for small conversion degrees, two temperature regions with different values of effective activation energy (18–20 kcal/mol and 2 kcal/mol, respectively) were observed. When an irradiated MC sample is being unfrozen, its polymerization occus in the region of devitrification (220–240°K). As distinct from mass polymerization, in the polymerization of MC solutions in acetone and benzol the mobility of growing chains increases so that the bimolecular termination becomes possible and the limiting conversion of double bonds is derived. Rather small irradiation doses necessary for curing MC and the proportionality of the radiation-induced polymerization rate to the dose rate make these oligomers valuable for various industrial applications.     

Conducting hydrogels based on semi‐interpenetrating networks of polyaniline in poly(acrylamide‐co‐itaconic acid) matrix: synthesis and characterization

In this work, acrylamide/itaconic acid copolymeric hydrogels are prepared by free radical polymerization initiated by redox initiators of potassium persulfate and N ,N ,N ′,N ′‐tetramethyl ethylene diamine; N ,N ′methylene bisacrylamide was employed as a crosslinking agent. Aniline monomer was absorbed in the network of poly(acrylamide‐co‐itaconic acid) P(AAm‐co‐IA) hydrogel and followed by gamma radiation induced polymerization at room temperature. The novel semi‐interpenetrating network was comprised of linear polyaniline immersed in P(AAm‐co‐IA) matrix. Electrical conductivity of the hydrogels was measured using four‐probe technique. The conductivities for the prepared hydrogels are found to increase from 5.5 × 10^?7 S cm^?1 for P(AAm‐co‐IA) alone to 4.4 × 10^?3 S cm^?1 for semi‐interpenetrating polymer network P(AAm‐co‐IA)/polyaniline. Thus, a new composite hydrogel with good conductive properties also displaying enhanced mechanical strength and pH sensitivity was prepared. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Kinetics of diffusion-free radiation graft polymerization of styrene onto polyethylene

The diffusion-free radiation graft polymerization of styrene onto polyethylene has been studied. The grafting rate shows a dependence on monomer which is far different than what has been assumed. Further, the dependence on monomer changes with increasing dose rate as does the dependence of grafting rate on radiation dose rate. Three different regions of behavior are defined: (1) a region of low dose rate where the grafting rate is 1/2-order in dose rate and 3/2-order in monomer; (2) a region of intermediate dose rate where the grafting rate is intermediate between 1/2-and zero-order in dose rate and 5/2-order in monomer; and (3) a region of high dose rate, where the grafting rate is independent of dose rate and at least 5/2-order in monomer. Various possible mechanisms responsible for these effects are discussed, including the effects of viscosity on the initiation and termination reactions, the possibility of ionic graft polymerization, and energy transfer.     

STUDY ON POLYMERIZATION MECHANISM OF 3, 9,-DIALLYL-3, 9, -DIBENZYL-1, 5, 7, 11-TETRAOXASPIRO [5, 5] UNDECANE

A new monomer, 3,9-diallyl-3, 9-dibenzyl-1, 5,7,11 - tetraoxa- spiro [5,5] undecane (6) was prepared by the reaction of 2- allyl- 2' - benzyl- propanediol - 1.3 with dibutyltin oxide, and then treated with CS_2. Monomer 4 could be initiated by cationic initiators to give a viscous polymer (white powder in the case of polymerization at 0℃). Upon the NMR and IR spectra of the obtained polymer, the components and their relative amount were estimated. The polymerization mechanism was discussed.     

Radiation-induced homogeneous polymerization of ethylene in cyclohexane

The radiation-induced polymerization of ethylene in cyclohexane was carried out in a reactor of 100 ml capacity under a range of temperature of 25–150°C, dose rate of 4.1 × 10⁴–2.9 × 10⁵ rad/hr, pressure of 200 kg/cm², and amount of cyclohexane of 20–90 ml. The polymerization was found to proceed at a steady state from the beginning. The polymerization rate is maximum at ca. 50 ml of cyclohexane. The dose rate exponent of the polymerization rate was 0.6 at every temperature from 25 to 150°C. The polymer molecular weight is in the range of 10³–10⁴, independent of dose rate, and decreases with increasing amount of cyclohexane. The molecular weight distribution is unimodal and narrow. Kinetic analysis of these results indicates that the polymerization proceeds via a simple scheme of homogeneous polymerization and the polymer molecular weight was determined by the chain transfer reaction which takes place mostly with cyclohexane. The unimodal and narrow molecular weight distribution is also consistent with the homogeneous polymerization scheme.

Radiation effect studies on anticancer drugs, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin for radiation sterilization

Two anticancer drugs, cyclophosphamide (CPH) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOXO), in powder form were exposed to a range of doses of ⁶⁰Co gamma and electron beam radiation to study the effects of ionizing radiation. Pharmacopoeia tests, discolouration, degradation products, effect of irradiation temperature and dose rate were investigated. CPH undergoes less than 2% degradation at 30 kGy. Chromatographic studies revealed formation of several trace level degradation products, discolouration and free radicals in the irradiated CPH. N,N-bis (2-chloroethyl) group in the molecule is particularly sensitive to radiation degradation. Irradiation to 5 kGy at low temperature (77 K) did not result in significant changes. DOXO was observed to be quite radiation resistant and did not undergo significant changes in its physico-chemical properties and degradation product profile. It can be radiation sterilized at normal sterilization dose of 25 kGy.     

Temperature effects on γ-initiated polymerization of styrene. III. Conversion in the range 150–200°C

Experimental data are presented for the polymerization of commercial styrene in a γ-radiation flux of 20–51 rad/sec in the temperature range of 150–200°C. At radiation intensities above 20 rad/second, conversion rate is independent of dose rate over the range. Above 165°C, radiation does not enhance the conversion rate but does produce more rapid elimination of residual monomer. Molecular weights of polymer product in this temperature range are too low to be of commercial interest. An optimal temperature range of 110–120°C is suggested for the process.
