A facile approach to surface graft vinyl acetate onto polyolefin articles

A facile and environment friendly approach was developed to graft vinyl acetate (VAc) onto plastic articles in an aqueous solution using tert‐butyl alcohol (TBA) as a compatiblizer and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. In a novel setup, excessive monomer suspended in a water phase, VAc could be conveniently grafted on the model substrate of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film and the graft percentage (GP) could be developed up to 7.3%. Reaction temperature could increase GP significantly, while adding monomer over a critical volume did not influence GP. By adding some paradioxybenzene, i.e. 0.06–0.08% in VAc phase, homopolymer PVAc could be avoided practically, while graft polymerization proceeded favorably in aqueous solutions. It was proved by attenuated total reflection‐infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy that grafted VAc was located mainly at the surface of the LDPE film and hydrophilic nature of both grafted and alcoholyzed films were improved via contact angle measurements.

Quantitative Comparison Between Vacuum-Ultraviolet Irradiation and Remote Hydrogen Plasma Treatment of Hydrocarbon Polymers

The photon flux of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation of a hydrogen plasma with and without a MgF₂window was recorded by fluorescence measurements of sodium salicylate layers. After the compensation of the MgF₂absorption by increasing the input power into the plasma source, a comparison between afterglow hydrogen plasma and VUV treatments was made. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) were treated either with VUV radiation or with remote hydrogen plasma and mass loss and CH absorption loss were measured by a quartz crystal microbalance and by infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, respectively. In the case of PE the effects of both treatments were found to be very similar white for PP slight differences were observed. For the actual set of experimental conditions, the radiation component is largely responsible for the efficiency of the plasma treatment. VUV and remote hydrogen plasma treatments of PS showed only a negligible loss of mass and CH absorption.

Polymer bound glutamic acid salicylaldehyde Schiff‐base complex ­catalyst for oxidation of olefins with ­dioxygen

The polymer bound Schiff‐base ligand (PS‐SalGlu) has been prepared from polystyrene bound salicylaldehyde and glutamic acid, and its complex (PS‐SalGlu‐Co) has also been synthesized. The polymer ligand and its complex were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, small area X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectro (ICP‐AFS). In the presence of the complex, cyclohexene can be effectively oxidized by molecular oxygen without reductant. The long‐chain linear aliphatic olefins, such as 1‐octene, 1‐decene, 1‐dodecene and 1‐tetradecene, can be directly oxidized by molecular oxygen catalyzed by PS‐SalGlu‐Co, which affords the 1,2‐epoxy alkane.

Estimation of micropore size distribution in active carbons from adsorption isotherms of water vapor

A possibility of estimation of the micropore size distribution in the carbon adsorbents with the developed micro-and mesoporous structure by analysis of the adsorption isotherms of water vapors was considered. At saturation water condenses in micropores in a form of a weakly compressed liquid. However, water molecules in micropores are packed not so closely as in the liquid because of steric hindrance. Therefore, the real density of water adsorbed in the micropores is lower than that of water adsorbed on an open surface and lower than the density of the normal liquid. An analysis of the adsorption isotherms of water vapors with account for the both opposite effects on the water density gives reliable data on the micropore sizes of the carbon adsorbents.
