Preparation of Covalently‐colored Polymer Latex via Batch Emulsion Polymerization

Covalently‐colored polymer latex was synthesized via batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate and methacrylic acid in the presence of red polymerizable dye monomer consisting of anthraquinone chromophore, alkyl spacer and acryloyl group, and the influences of the initiator, surfactant and polymerizable dye on the polymerization and the latex properties were investigated. Results showed that the initiator amount was a determinative factor for the monomer conversion, and a high conversion of the polymerizable dye could be achieved when the ammonium persulfate amount was equal to or more than 1 wt% to the total monomers. Most of the chromophores were covalently bonded to the polymer chains if the polymerizable dye was used in the range of 0–1.5 wt%. The light fastness of the resulting latex film was much better than that of the noncovalently‐colored polymer film.

Polymerization in nonaqueous microemulsions

Nonaqueous microemulsions containing formamide, the anionic surfactant AOT (bis(2-ethyl-hexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt), sodium bromide (NaBr), and either of the monomers hexyl methacrylate or styrene are polymerized at 60°C. For both monomers, the final product is a stable, bluish dispersion of particles of ca. 80 nm diameter. Based on phase behavior studies as a function of NaBr concentration, we describe how a systematic variation of composition and monomer causes changes in reaction rates and latex characteristics. The monomer solubility in the continuous phase plays an important role in determining the final polymer characteristics. Decreasing monomer solubility shifts the mechanism from one similar to solution polymerization to one closer to traditional emulsion polymerization.     

Rheology of acrylic latices as a function of carboxyl neutralization

Latexes based on acrylic acid, acrylamide, ethyl methacrylate, and ethyl acrylate were synthesized via emulsion polymerization with different monomer compositions. The resultant latices were thickened with different molar ratios of NaOH to acrylic acid and were analyzed in terms of acid-basis titrimetry, turbidimetry, rheology, and tensiometry. Titrimetry, turbidimetry and rheometry were used to analyze factors such as carboxyl group availability and particle solubilization, tensiometry monitoring the influence of carboxyl neutralization on polymer-surfactant interactions. For the acrylic acid content used in this work (20 wt%), the results indicated that as carboxyl groups distribution became more homogeneous, the process of latex thickening became more effective.     

Preparation of Fluorine-Containing Polyacrylate Emulsion by a UV-initiated Polymerization

A fluorine-containing polyacrylate emulsion was synthesized by a UV-initiated emulsion polymerization from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and hexafluorobutly methacrylate (HFMA) in the presence of 2-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methyl-propiophenone (Irgacure 2959) as a hydrophilic photoinitiator at room temperature. The latex and films were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR, ¹⁹F-NMR) spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), recycling gel permeation chromatography (GPC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and contact angle (CA) analysis, respectively. The effects of photoinitiator and emulsifier concentration on the polymerization were discussed. Compared to the corresponding thermal polymerization, UV-initiated polymerization of the MMA/HFMA emulsion could be accomplished at a much higher speed. The polymerization conversion in UV-initiated polymerization reached 95% within 10 min at an emulsifier concentration of 0.6 wt%, photoinitiator concentration of 0.4 wt%, and monomer concentration of 10 wt%.     

Convenient synthesis of novel fluorinated polyurethane hybrid latexes and core-shell structures via emulsion polymerization process with self-emulsification of polyurethane

Novel fluorinated polyurethane hybrid latexes in the size range of 40–50 nm, fluoroalkyl acrylate as fluorinated monomers, with various fluorine content (F% = 9∼26 wt%) were successfully prepared via emulsion polymerization process without traditional emulsifier. The waterborne polyurethane, which was synthesized by using isophronediisocyanate, dimethylol propionic acid, polyethylene glycols, etc., served not only as copolymerizable macromonomer but also as polymeric high molecular weight emulsifier. The structures of polyurethane macromonomer and fluorinated polyurethane were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and H¹-NMR. Particle size, zeta potential, micromorphology of the latex par.ticles, and surface properties were investigated by dynamic light scattering, potential particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscopy, and contact angle measurement, respectively. Results illustrated that the advantage of this process is that the size of fluorinated polyurethane hybrid particle is less sensitive to the composition. Furthermore, it was showed that fluorinated polyurethane latex particles had core-shell structures, especially when the content of fluorine was 26.08 wt%. Moreover, there was an obvious migration of fluorinated groups to the surface during the formation of fluorinated polymer films, although fluorinated groups were covered by polyurethane in latex particles.     

Synthesis of water-soluble hyperbranched polymer and its application in acrylic latex

A water-soluble hyperbranched polymer (WHBP), obtained from a second generation of hyperbranched polyester and maleic anhydride, was studied. Its effects on the properties of acrylic latexes, which were based on emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylic acid (AA) and WHBP, and latex film were discussed. The characteristics of WHBP were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Particle size and morphology of latex particles were confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The investigation showed that WHBP could be used in emulsion polymerization, and that latex of poly(BA-MMA-WHBP) was more stable than that of poly(BA-MMA-AA). The hardness of latex film increased from 2B to HB when WHBP was used.     

Structure and properties of polyurethane/polyacrylate latex interpenetrating networks hybrid emulsions

Some new kinds of novel polyurethane (PU)/polyacrylate (PA) latex interpenetrating networks (LIPNs) were synthesized. Firstly PU dispersions were synthesized by self-emulsification polymerization. Then PU/PA LIPNs using PU dispersion as the seed were prepared by soap free emulsion polymerization. The effects of different PU/PA ratios, the blending method and the NCO/OH molar ratio of PU components on PU/PA LIPNs performance were also investigated. The structure and properties of PU/PA LIPNs such as mechanical properties, particle size, morphology of the surface were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. It was found that PU/PA LIPNs can markedly improve the water resistance and the mechanical properties of PU latex much more than those of PU/PA physical blends due to a great deal of interpenetrating and entangling between PU and PA latex. Moreover, the particle size of PU/PA LIPNs is related to the PA content and NCO/OH molar ratio of PU components: the higher the NCO/OH molar ratio in PU dispersions, the larger is the particle size of PU/PA LIPNs, and the average particle size of PU/PA LIPNs becomes larger with an increase in PA content.     

Synthesis of Latex Particles with Surface Functional Groups and Their Applications for the Fabrication of Porous Materials

In this study, monodisperse latex particles with specific surface functional groups were synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. Amidine or carboxylated polystyrene nanospheres with narrow size distribution were prepared by emulsion polymerization using AIBA (α,α′-zodiisobutyramidine dihydrochloride) as amine-containing initiator or acrylic acid as carboxyl-containing comonomer, respectively. Factors affecting the particle size and distribution were systemically studied by changing the amount of initiator or monomer, the polymerization temperature, and the stirring speed of emulsion polymerization reactor. Monodisperse polymethylmethacrylate beads were also synthesized by soapless emulsion polymerization using methacrylic acid or aminoethylmethacrylate hydrogen hydrochloride as comonomer for the surface functionalization of the particles. As applications of the latex beads, the polymeric particles were adopted as templating materials for the fabrication of macroporous titania film and meso-macroporous silica particles by colloidal templating method.

Adsorption of trypsin onto styrene-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer microspheres and its enzymatic activity

Effects of the surface hydrophilicity of styrene-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (S-HEMA) copolymer microspheres on the adsorption immobilization of trypsin and on its enzymatic activity were discussed. In the case of a polystyrene (PS) microsphere, the amount of adsorption was large, whereas the enzymatic activity of the adsorbed trypsin was low. On the other hand, in the case of an S-HEMA copolymer microsphere whose HEMA content was 10 mole %, the maximum specific activity of trypsin adsorbed was nearly equal to that of free trypsin, although the amount of adsorption decreased to about 65 % of that in PS. Accordingly, total activity, which is the product of the amount of adsorption and the specific activity, could be enhanced by controlling the surface hydrophilicity of the microsphere.Part LXXXVII of the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion.     

Sequential injection analyzer for glycerol monitoring in yeast cultivation medium

A smart and versatile flow system for the at-line monitoring of glycerol based on sequential injection analysis is proposed. Formaldehyde, generated by oxidation of glycerol with sodium periodate, is transformed into 2,4-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine applying the Hantzsch condensation reaction with acetylacetone and ammonium. Dual-wavelength detection was carried out to minimize the contribution of the schlieren effect using a single blue LED. In-line sample dilution is accomplished applying the concept of zone-penetration and a new concept of sample splitting. Under optimized physical and chemical variables, regression curves over two dynamic working ranges of 0.1-4 and 1-40 g l⁻¹ were attained. The injection throughputs were 14 and 12 h⁻¹, respectively. Applying on-line data evaluation and conditional inquiries, the smart and independent selection of the adequate analytical procedure for the required working range was accomplished. The system was successfully applied to the at-line monitoring of glycerol in a continuous, cell-free medium flow from a yeast cultivation process during batch and fed-batch phase with glycerol as the only carbon source.     

Preparation of multihollow P(St-MAA) particles by sequence soap-free/soap emulsion polymerization and followed by stepwise alkali/acid posttreatment

The effects of ionic emulsifier, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfate (SDBS), on the formation of the multihollow structures in sub-micron sized polymer particles produced by alkali/acid posttreatment were investigated. The original latex particles with narrow size distribution were synthesized by a new sequence emulsifier-free/emulsifier emulsion copolymerization of styrene (St) and methacrylic acid (MAA). Results indicated that the pore size decreased and the pore number increased with the increase of SDBS amount, and the morphology of the posttreated latex particles was also significantly influenced by the introducing time of SDBS in the preparation of the original latex particles, and a suitable introducing time was 3 h of polymerization.
