Radiation Graft Copolymerization of a Mixture of Styrene and n-Butyl Acrylate on Natural Rubber Latex

The radiation graft copolymerization of a mixture of styrene (St) and n-butyl acrylate (NBA) monomers on natural rubber (NR) latex has been studied. An irradiation dose of about 18 kGy was needed to attain a conversion of about 80%. The tensile strength of the grafted NR film increases with increasing irradiation dose. A film tensile strength of about 155 kg/cm² was attained by irradiation of a mixture of St, NBA, and NR latex with a dose of about 14 kGy. At low concentrations of monomer in the latex, the Mooney viscosity of the film increases with increasing irradiation dose. At higher monomer concentration, grafting and homopolymerization proceed more favorably than crosslinking, and thus the Mooney viscosity decreases with increasing dose. Thermal analysis of the film showed that the grafted NR was more heat resistant than ungrafted NR.     

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.     

Graft Copolymers with a Backbone of Polyvinyl Chloride): Synthesis,Properties, and Applications

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has occupied the most important position among the general purpose plastics, but its industrial applications are limited due to its inferior thermal stability and mechanical properties. It has been observed that the removal of tertiary or allylic chlorine atoms or some other abnormal and unstable structures from polymeric chains, by graft copolymerization with vinyl monomers, improves the thermal stability and mechanical properties (such as softening temperature, rigidity, anticreep properties, impact strength, and tensile strength) of PVC to a large extent.

Thermodynamic quantities relative to solution processes of Naproxen in aqueous media at pH 1.2 and 7.4

Based on van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations, the thermodynamic functions Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution, mixing and solvation of naproxen (NAP) in water at pH 1.2 and 7.4, were evaluated from solubility values determined at several temperatures. The solubility at pH 7.4 and 25.0°C was almost 150 times higher with respect to pH 1.2. The enthalpies of solution were positive and greater for pH 1.2, while the entropies of solution were both negative, thereby implying a greater molecular organization at pH 7.4. The results were discussed in terms of solute–solvent interactions.

Copolymerization of Chloromethylstyrene and Divinylbenzene in the Absence or Presence of Poly(Vinyl Chloride)

Studies of the copolymerization of chloromethylstyrene (CMS) and divinylbenzene (DVB) were done in the presence or absence of poly-(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in order to prepare anion-exchange membranes of excellent performance by the paste method. The copolymerization rate decreases when PVC is added and increases when the DVB quantity is increased in the presence of PVC. The copolymerization rate of the isomers of CMS and DVB increases in the following order: p-DVB > m-DVB > p-ethylvinylbenzene > p-CMS > m-CMS ≈ m-ethylvinylbenzene. This order is not affected by the presence of PVC. The copolymerization of CMS and DVB takes place partially in PVC particles.

Separation of Iron(III) with Ammonium Thiocyanate‐H2O‐n‐Propyl Alcohol Extraction System in the Presence of Sodium Chloride

The behavior and conditions of liquid‐liquid extraction‐separation of Fe(III) by ammonium thiocyanate‐H₂O‐n‐propyl alcohol system in the presence of NaCl were studied, and the possible reactive mechanism of extraction of Fe(III) was deduced. The study showed that, in the presence of a given amount of NaCl, phases were separated thoroughly between n‐propyl alcohol and water. In the process of phase separation, the complex [Fe(SCN)_n]^(3‐n) formed by NH₄SCN and Fe(III) was quantitatively extracted into the n‐propyl alcohol phase. The extracted Fe(III) exists in the n‐propyl alcohol phase mainly as the forms of Fe(SCN)₂⁺ and Fe(SCN)₃. Also, the relationship between extraction yield of Fe(III) and the amount of NH₄SCN agreed well with the quadratic equation E = 0.54 + 58.14x ? 8.39x² (E and x represent the recovery rate of Fe(III) and the volume (mL) of 0.1 M NH₄SCN respectively). The quadratic R‐Square is 0.9990. With this method, Fe(III) can be completely separated from Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Al(III), Bi(III) and Cd(II) at pH 1.0?2.0. The present method was applied in determining Fe(III) in samples with satisfactory results such as relative standard deviation from 2.06% to 2.89% and recovery rate in the range of 98.4?101.4%.

Selective Insertion in Copolymerization of Ethylene and Styrene Catalyzed by Half‐Titanocene System Bearing Ketimide Ligand: A Theoretical Study

The copolymerization of ethylene and styrene can be efficiently carried out by using Cp*TiCl₂ (N = C^t Bu₂)/MAO (Cp*=η ⁵‐C₅Me₅ ) system, yielding the poly(ethylene‐co ‐styrene)s with isolated styrene units. In order to investigate the reasons for formation of the structure, the mechanism of copolymerization, especially the selective insertion of ethylene and styrene, is studied in detail by density functional theory (DFT ) method. At the initiation stage, insertion of ethylene is kinetically more favorable than insertion of styrene, and insertion of styrene kinetically and thermodynamically prefers 2,1‐insertion. That is different from the conventional half‐titanocene system, in which the 1,2‐insertion is favorable. At chain propagation stage, the computational results suggest that the continuous insertion of styrene is hard to occur at room temperature due to the high free energy barriers (28.90 and 35.04 kcal/mol for 1,2‐insertion, and 29.15 and 34.00 kcal/mol for 2,1‐insertion) and thermodynamically unfavorable factors in two different conditions. That is mainly attributed to the steric hindrance between the coming styrene and chain‐end styrene or ketimide ligand. The computational results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Graft Copolymerization of Poly(ethyl Acrylate) onto Wool in the Presence of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate as Redox Initiator

Poly(ethyl acrylate) has been grafted onto Himachali wool in an aqueous medium by using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as redox initiator. Copolymerization was studied at five different temperatures: 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60°C. Maximum grafting occurred at 45°C. Nitric acid was found to catalyze the graft copolymerization reactions. Percentage and efficiency of grafting were found to be dependent upon concentrations of CAN (initiator) and of monomer. Percentage of grafting has been determined as function of time, and from the slope of percent grafting versus time plot, the initial rate of graft copolymerization (R) has been determined.     

Study of copper complexes in saturated and unsaturated aqueous ammonium oxalate solutions containing Cu(II) impurity

The influence of Cu(II) impurity on chemical equilibria in unsaturated and saturated ammonium oxalate (AO) aqueous solutions was investigated as a function of concentration _ci$c_{\text{i}}$ of impurity. Using the computer programme “Hyss” the species present in the solutions were analysed. It was found that in the aqueous solutions of ammonium oxalate containing Cu(II) ions the following species are formed: Cu²⁺, Cu(OH)⁺, Cu(OH)₂, CuC₂O₄⁰ and Cu(C₂O₄)₂²⁻ in addition to C₂O₄²⁻, HC₂O₄⁻, H₂C₂O₄ and (NH₄)₂C₂O₄⁰ species, and their concentration depends on concentrations _ci$c_{\text{i}}$ of Cu(II) impurity and c of ammonium oxalate. The dependences of solution pH and of absorbance A   and the corresponding wavelength λ$\lambda$ for unsaturated aqueous solutions on ammonium oxalate concentration c   containing different concentrations _ci$c_{\text{i}}$ of Cu(II) ions showed three well-defined regions characterised by transition values of solution pH or solute concentration c. Speciation analysis revealed that Cu²⁺ and CuC₂O₄⁰, CuC₂O₄⁰ and Cu(C₂O₄₎₂²⁻, and Cu(C₂O₄)₂²⁻ complexes are predominantly present in the solute concentration intervals c≤0.01$c\le 0.01$ mol/dm³, 0.01 mol/dm³ <c<0.03$<c<0.03$ mol/dm³ and c≥0.03$c\ge 0.03$ mol/dm³, respectively. The concentration interval range 0.01 mol/dm³ <c<0.03$<c<0.03$ mol/dm³ corresponds to the pH interval where Cu(OH)₂ is precipitated. It was found that the solubility of ammonium oxalate at 30 °$°$C increases practically linearly with an increase in the concentration of Cu(II) impurity. Speciation analysis of saturated aqueous solutions of ammonium oxalate revealed that Cu(II) ions contained in AO saturated solutions exist mainly as Cu(C₂O₄)₂²⁻-type complexes, and the increase in the solubility of AO in the presence of Cu(II) impurity is essentially due to an increase in the ratio of the concentrations of CuC₂O₄⁰ and Cu(C₂O₄)₂²⁻ species.
