Molecular characterization of maleic anhydride-functionalized polypropylene

This work deals with the molecular characterization of maleic anhydride melt-functionalized polypropylene (PP-g-MA). The functionalization mechanism, the nature, the concentration, and the location of grafted anhydride species onto the polypropylene chain are discussed. The polypropylene functionalization was performed using a pre-heated Brabender Plastograph (190°C, 4 min of mixing time). Several concentrations of maleic anhydride and organic peroxide were used for this study. In those experimental conditions, the organic peroxide undergoes an homolytic rupture and carries out a polypropylene tertiary hydrogen abstraction. The resulting macroradical undergoes a β-scission leading to a radical chain end which reacts with maleic anhydride. When a termination reaction occurs at this first step a succinic type anhydride chain end is obtained. However, oligomerization of maleic anhydride is found to occur more frequently leading to poly (maleic anhydride) chain end. Concentration of both anhydride types and minimal length of the grafted poly (maleic anhydride) were determined. A fraction of maleic anhydride does not react with polypropylene or homopolymerize leading to nongrafted poly (maleic anhydride). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

GRAFTING OF PEROXIDE-INITIATED MALEIC ANHYDRIDE ON SPHERICAL PE／PP IN-REACTOR BLEND GRANULES

Spherical polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) in-reactor blend granules with various ethylene/propylene molar ratios and high porosity were synthesized using a high yield TiCl4/MgCl2 supported catalyst. A solution of benzoyl peroxide (BPO)/maleic anhydride (MAH)/xylene (interfacial reagent) or BPO/MAH/St (comonomer) was absorbed onto the PE/PP inreactor blend granules, and solid phase gratt polymerization of MAH on PE/PP was conducted. The amount of grafted MAH on PE/PP was measured through chemical titration. The results showed that solid phase graft polymerization of MAH in PE/PP in-reactor blend granules produced graft copolymer with high amount of grafted MAH, and the amount of grafted MAH was raised slightly when St was introduced as comonomer. The graft in-reactor blend was fractionated into five fractions through temperature-gradient extraction fractionation (TGEF), and the fractions were analyzed by FTIR. The results revealed that MAH is mainly grafted on the PE segments, whereas MAH was predominantly grafted on the PP segments when St was present in the graft polymerization system. In addition, the final product is still in the form of regular spherical granules, which is beneficial for industrial processing.     

Effect of the initial maleic anhydride content on the grafting of maleic anhydride onto isotactic polypropylene

A series of ¹³C‐enriched maleic anhydride grafted isotactic polypropylene samples were prepared in solution at 170 °C by changes in the initial maleic anhydride content. The NMR spectra of the samples showed that the signals of the maleic anhydride attached to the tertiary carbons of the isotactic polypropylene chains increased considerably with increasing maleic anhydride content, whereas the signals of the maleic anhydride on the radical chain ends (with a single bond) arising from β scission did not. On the other hand, the signals of the maleic anhydride on the radical chain ends with double bonds increased markedly with increasing maleic anhydride content, and this suggested that β scission could occur extensively after maleic anhydride was attached to the tertiary carbons. As a result, the molecular weight of the grafted polypropylene decreased significantly with increasing maleic anhydride content in this study. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of anhydride-functional polycaprolactone

Polycaprolactone-graft-maleic anhydride (PCL-g-MA) copolymer was prepared by grafting maleic anhydride onto PCL in a batch mixer and in an extruder using dicumyl peroxide as the initiator. The graft content was determined with the volumetric method by converting the anhydride functions to acid groups and then titrating with ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The grafted polymer was extracted with xylene to remove any unreacted monomer before the estimation step. The effect of temperature and the various concentrations of the initiator and monomer used for the grafting reaction were investigated. The presence of residual initiator in the reaction product was checked using thin-layer chromatography. Molecular weight determination was carried out for the pure and grafted polymer using gel permeation chromatography to determine if chain scission was present. Results indicate that maleic anhydride is grafted onto PCL using free radical initiators. The grafting reaction was confirmed by FTIR and NMR techniques. FTIR spectra showed absorption bands around 1785 and 1858 cm⁻¹. NMR spectra gave signals for methine proton at 3.47 ppm. For a given peroxide level, a higher temperature or residence (reaction) time gave higher percentage of grafted MA. There was an optimum temperature and initiator concentration after which the percentage of MA grafted on PCL decreased. The number-average molecular weight, tensile strength, and the percent elongation of PCL-g-MA were comparable to those of PCL before grafting. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Mediated melt functionalization of polypropylene

This work investigated the ability of several kinds of molecules to mediate the melt functionalization of polypropylene. N-Bromosuccinimide, nitroxides, iniferters, thiols and RAFT chain transfer agents were tested as potential mediators. The grafting of maleic anhydride onto polypropylene was carried out with and without mediator and the grafted polymers are discussed in terms of graft content, graft structure and molecular weights.     

A practical way of grafting maleic anhydride onto polypropylene providing high anhydride contents without sacrificing excessive molar mass

This study reports a reactive extrusion process leading to very high levels of anhydride grafting (2.5–3 wt %) along polypropylene backbone without recovering grafted PP waxes at the die exit. Such high graftings are attainable without excessive degradation of the PP chain by using a brominated reagent. Simultaneously, this brominated reagent allows the tuning of the grafted PP crystallinity via epimerization of the PP backbone. Indeed, the synthesis of a mainly isotactic/atactic stereoblock polymer containing high levels of grafted succinic anhydride moieties is demonstrated by NMR and melting enthalpies recorded by DSC are definitely observed depressed and broadened. Grafting levels of around 3 wt % have been achieved and ascertained by both chemical titration and NMR spectroscopy. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy reveals an unusual observation: for the first time, only one single pair of symmetric and asymmetric carbonyl stretching bands are observed on those grafted PP, while, in other processes of anhydride grafting, those symmetric and asymmetric bands were both split in at least two bands. This suggests, for the here reported process, the absence of interacting grafted anhydride rings, i.e., absence of closely grafted anhydride moieties and absence of poly(maleic anhydride). All those observations support that this “bromine route” brings a really new grafting process for PP. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 2936–2947, 2008     

Effect of comonomer sorption on radiation-induced copolymer grafting onto polyethylene and EVA films in the vapor phase

Radiation-induced copolymer grafting of acenaphthylene and maleic anhydride onto polyethylene or EVA film in the vapor phase was carried out and the effect of comonomer sorption on the grafting was studied. When polyethylene film was used as a backbone polymer, the sorption of the binary monomers during the grafting increased linearly as the grafting reaction proceeded. The marked increase was probably caused by the formation of a grafted layer. Particularly, the sorption of maleic anhydride was brought about by the existence of a grafted layer. In grafting onto EVA film, the content of maleic anhddride in the grafted copolymer increased with the increasing content of vinyl acetate in EVA. Continuous measurements of sorption of the comonomers onto EVA and grafted EVA films were carried out by use of an electrobalance. The distinctive feature of the sorption was that the equilibrium sorption of acenaphthylene or maleic anhydride onto the grafted EVA film increased and the diffusion constants for both comonomers decreased markedly with increasing percentage of graft. The copolymer grafting was explained from these results by assuming that the monomer molecules are supplied to the propagating chain ends mostly through a sorbed state on the polymer film.     

Adhesion mechanisms of grafted polyolefins

By comparing surface properties assessed by wettability measurements with polymer-metal adhesion strength determined by peeling for different grafted polyolefins (acrylic acid grafted polyethylene, acrylic acid and maleic anhydride grafted poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate), maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene), a general adhesion mechanism can be proposed. The surface polarity is not the main determining parameter for adhesion. Polyolefin-aluminium adhesion is obtained through chemical bonding of acid groups grafted in the polymer bulk and basic groups present on the aluminium.     

Grafting of maleic anhydride onto carbon black surface via ultrasonic irradiation

The grafting of maleic anhydride onto carbon black surface based on the Diels–Alder addition via ultrasonic irradiation was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to determine the chemical structure of the resulting products. The anhydride ring in the modified products can be opened into two carboxylic groups. Accordingly, the carboxylated carbon black was analyzed quantitatively through acid‐based titration to determine the concentration of anhydride ring on the modified carbon black's surface. The grafted molecules amount calculated from the concentration of the anhydride ring was consistent with the results of TGA data. Comparison of zeta potential measurement demonstrated that there were more negative charges attached to the surface of carbon black after ultrasonic modification. TEM observations showed that the conglomeration degree of modified carbon black decreased more than that of initial carbon black. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Polypropylene ionic thermoplastic elastomers: Synthesis and properties

Polypropylene ionic thermoplastic elastomers have been prepared by melt radical grafting of maleic anhydride onto polypropylene in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide followed by neutralization of the resulting elastomeric grafted polypropylene using sodium salts. Sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate were compared in aqueous solution, as anhydrous or hydrated powders. The neutralization reaction was followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, allowing the development of a method to determine the effective neutralization degree. Important physical changes were recorded upon neutralization. Especially thermal stability, shear storage modulus and complex viscosity in the flow region were largely increased as a function of the neutralization degree.
