Graft Copolymerization of 4-Vinylpyridine Onto Modified Cellulosic Fibers. the Ceric Ion Concentration Effect

The graft copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine was carried out on mercerized cellulose and partially carboxymethylated cellulose (PCMC) using eerie ammonium nitrate (CAN) as the initiator. the grafting parameters (grafting efficiency (GE), graft yield (G), and total conversion (C¹)) were studied as a function of CAN concentration. It was shown that by increasing the CAN concentration, G and C, reached a maximum. the graft yields for PCMC were significantly higher than those for mercerized cellulose. the largest GE values appeared for PCMC and mercerized cellulose at low and high CAN concentrations, respectively. the Ce(IV) consumption during grafting increased with rising concentration of CAN, and it was greater in the case of PCMC than of mercerized cellulose. After acid hydrolysis of the polysaccharide backbone, the average molecular weight of grafts was determined viscometrically. Molecular weight decreased with initiator concentration. Graft frequency (GF), on the other hand, increased with CAN concentration. GF for PCMC was higher than that for mercerized cellulose. Ce(IV) consumption increased with CAN concentration and it was lower for mercerized cellulose than that consumed during grafting on PCMC. After that, the effect of CAN concentration on the graft copolymerization onto PCMC was examined while the total nitrate ion concentration was maintained constant at 1.59 M by addition of sodium nitrate. Maximum G, C¹ and Ce(IV) consumption were higher than in the previous case.

Photoinduced Graft Copolymerization. V. Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate onto Cellulose in the Presence of N-Bromosuccinimide as Initiator

Abstract

The photoinduced graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto cellulose was studied using N-bromosuccinimide as the photoinitiator. The formation of graft copolymer increases with an increasing amount of cellulose. The graft copolymerization increases with increasing initiator concentration up to 1,25 × 10^?2 M and thereafter it decreases. The percentage of graft increases with increasing monomer concentration up to 46.9 × 10^?2 M and thereafter it decreases. The percentage graft-on increases with increasing temperature. The overall activation energy was computed to be 8.40 kcal/mol. The percentage graft was investigated using different water-miscible organic solvents. The graft copolymerization was also investigated using differently modified cellulose. A possible mechanism for the photo-graft copolymerization onto cellulose is suggested.

Graft Copolymerization on to Cellulose Using Binary Mixture of Monomers

The graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and ethyl acrylate (EA) comonomers onto cellulose has been carried out using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an initiator in the presence of nitric acid at 35±0.1°C. The addition of ethyl acrylate as comonomer has shown a significant effect on overall and individual graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile on cellulose. The graft yield (%G_Y) and other grafting parameters viz. true grafting (%G_T), graft conversion (%C_G), cellulose number (Ng) and frequency of grafting (G_F) were evaluated on varying the concentration of comonomers from 6.0–30.0×10^?1 mol dm^?3 and ceric (IV) ions concentration from 2.5–25×10^?3 mol dm^?3 at constant feed composition (f_AN 0.6) and constant concentration of nitric acid (7.5×10^?2 mol dm^?3) in the reaction mixture. The graft yield (%G_Y) and other grafting parameters were optimal at 15×10^?1 mol dm^?3 concentration of comonomers and at 10×10^?3 mol dm^?3 concentration of ceric ammonium nitrate. The graft yield (%G_Y) and composition of grafted chains (F_AN) was optimal at a feed composition (f_AN) of 0.6. The energy of activation (Ea) for graft copolymerization has been found to be 16 kJ mol^?1. The molecular weight (Mw) and molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of grafted chains was determined by GPC and found to be optimum at 15×10^?1 mol dm^?3 concentration of comonomer in the reaction mixture. The composition of grafted chains (F_AN) determined by IR method was used to calculate the reactivity ratios of monomers, which has been found to be 0.62 (r₁) and 1.52 (r₂), respectively for acrylonitrile (AN) and ethyl acrylate (EA) monomers used for graft copolymerization. The energy of activation for decomposition of cellulose and grafted cellulose was determining by using different models based on constant and different rate (β) of heating. Considering experimental observations, the reaction steps for graft copolymerization were proposed.     

Graft Copolymerization of Vinyl Monomers onto Cellulose and Cellulosic Materials

Abstract

Graft copolymerization is a novel method which has wide application in synthesizing new forms of polymeric materials and also in modifying the properties of natural polymers [1,2]. Much research has been done on grafting polymeric molecules on to cellulose to produce materials of new properties intermediate between those of cellulose and those of synthetics. A variety of property changes can be imparted to cellulose through grafting without destroying the crystallinity or crystallization potential of the substrate or reducing its melting point. Some of the most dramatic changes in properties which have been brought about by grafting to cellulose are viscoelasticity, stereoregularity, hygroscopicity, water repellency, improved adhesion to a variety of substances, settability, soil resistance, bacteriocidal properties, and thermal stability.

Grafting of Vinyl Acetate-Methyl Acrylate Mixture Onto Cellulose. Effect of Agitation

ABSTRACT

The agitation effect on the heterogeneous graft copolymerization of a mixture of vinyl acetate and methyl acrylate onto cellulose was studied. Two procedures for the addition of the reactants were employed. Stirring speed, agitation time, and magnetic as well as mechanic stirring were tested. This polymerization system undergoes significant changes in the reaction parameters under low and high stirring speeds as well as under short agitation times. An explanation of the results is given.

Grafting onto Cellulose. VI. Graft Copolymerization of Vinyl Acetate by Use of Metal Chelates as Initiators

Graft copolymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) onto cellulose has been studied in an aqueous medium in the presence of Fe(acac)₃, Al(acac)₃, and Zn(acac)₂ as initiators. Percentage of grafting has been determined as a function of concentration of initiators and monomer, reaction time, and temperature. The reactivities of different metal chelates toward grafting of VAc on cellulose have been determined and were found to follow the order: Zn(acac)₂ > Al(acac)₃ > Fe(acac)₃. A plausible mechanism for grafting involving complex formation between metal chelates and vinyl monomer has been suggested. Several grafting experiments were carried out in presence of CCl₄, CHCl₃, CH₃CH₂CH₂SH and Et₃N. All these additives with the exception of Et₃N were found to suppress grafting.

Optimization of Preparation Process for Allylamine-bacterial Cellulose via Graft Copolymerization by Response Surface Methodology

In order to improve the efficiency of new adsorbent, grafting-allylamine bacterial cellulose（al-BC）, response surface methodology（RSM） was used for the optimization of preparation process. Three factors affecting the yield of grafting reaction are the amount of allylamine, the concentration of ceric ammonium nitrate（CAN） and the concentration of nitric acid. Based on the regression coefficient analysis in the Box-Behnken design, a relationship between the preparation variable and grafting yield was obtained. Square error analysis on main factors, and multi-variable interactions were employed for studying grafting yield. The results show that at the conditions of CAN of 23.00 mmol/L CAN, 0.17 mol/L nitric acid, adding an amount of grafting-allylamine bacterial cellulose of 26.49 mL/L made grafting rate reach maximum of 24.25% at 40℃ after the reaction for 4 h. The experimental results are in good agreement with the calculation values via proposed regression equation, indicating that the equation could be used to nredict and optimizate the preparation of grafting al-BC.

Gamma Radiation-Induced Graft Copolymerization of Styrene Onto Polyethyleneterephthalate Films: Application in Fuel Cell Technology as a Proton Exchange Membrane

Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) based proton exchange membrane for using in fuel cells was successfully prepared by gamma radiation-induced graft copolymerization of styrene monomer onto PET film and the consequent selective sulfonation of the grafting chain in the film state using chlorosulfonic acid (ClSO₃H). The effects of grafting conditions (e.g., monomer concentration, irradiation dose) on the degree of grafting and sulfonation condition (e.g., optimum concentration of ClSO₃H) on the degree of sulfonation were studied. The degree of grafting, the degree of sulfonation and the physico-chemical properties (such as, water uptake, mechanical strength, thermal durability, hydrolytic stability, oxidative stability) of the gamma radiation-induced grafted membrane were found to be better when compared to those of the UV-radiation grafted membrane. The membrane shows higher ion exchange capacity (0.9 mmol g^?1) and higher proton conductivity (0.075 S cm^?1), similar to those of Nafion membrane.

Oxidation of Hydroquinone By (N-Vinylpyrrolidone)-(4-Vinylpyridine) Block and Graft Copolymers

ABSTRACT

A-B Type block copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and 4-vinylpyridine (VPy) [poly(NVP-b-VPy) and graft copolymers of VPy onto copolymers of NVP with 4-vinylbenzyl N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (VBDC) [poly(NVP-g-VPy) were synthesized by the iniferter method. the compatibility between NVP and VPy units in the copolymers was evaluated from the glass transition temperature of these copolymers. Hydroquinone was then oxidized by the synthesized NVP-VPy copolymers-Cu(II) complex catalysts. the influence of the distribution of each monomer unit in copolymers on the catalytic activity was studied by comparing the activity of these copolymers. the catalytic activity of these copolymers increased in the order: NVP-VPy blend polymer, poly(NVP-b-VPy), poly(NVP-g-VPy), random copolymer [poly(NVP-ran-VPy)]. This order parallels the compatibility between NVP units and VPy units in these copolymers.     

Grafting Vinyl Monomers onto Cellulose. IX. Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate onto Cellulose Using Peroxydiphosphate-Fe(ll) and Mn(ll) Redox Systems

The vacuum or inert-atmosphere condensation of diphenyl isophthalate and 2,2′,3,3′-tetraaminobiphenyl to poly-2,2′-(m-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole has been investigated. Evidence from polymer and model compound (diphenylbibenzimidazole) spectral studies, elemental analysis, and analysis of volatile effluent indicates that the prepolymer formed at 260 to 300°C contains both benzimidazole and hydroxybenzimidazoline but is essentially free from phenoxybenzimidazole structures. A mechanism involving loss of phenol initially, followed by evolution of water to give benzimidazole structures, is established from experimental evidence. Polymerization in vacuum to 400°C gives the polybenzimidazole.     

Graft Copolymerization of Monomer Mixtures Acrylonitrile/Ethyl Acrylate and Acrylonitrile/Methyl Methacrylate on Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Abstract

Graft copolymerizations of acrylonitrile/ethyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile/methyl methacrylate monomer mixtures on carboxy methyl cellulose (d.s. 0.4–0.5) were studied in aqueous medium at 30°C using ceric ion as initiator. The amounts of the polymer grafted were measured as a function of the mole fraction of acrylonitrite in the feed. The compositions of the copolymer samples were obtained from their nitrogen contents. It was found that the presence of acrylonitilte in the polymerization system was associated with reductions (of up to 80%) in the amounts of polymer grafted; and that disproportionately low amounts of acrylonitrile monomeric units were incorporated into the graft copolymer even at relatively high acrylonitrile content of the feed.
