The Surface Imprinted Polystyrene Beads Prepared via Emulsion Templates

In this paper, the surface imprinted cross-linked polystyrene beads were prepared via suspension polymerization with styrene (St), divinylbezene (DVB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA1788),the mixture of Span 85 and xylene or the mixture of Span 85 and paraffin as monomer,cross-linking agent, dispersion stabilizer and templates, respectively. The results indicate that there are dense cavities on the surface of beads, and the diameter and density of cavity are related with the composition and amount of emulsion template. The forming mechanism of cavity from thermodynamics and dynamics was proposed.     

基于金属介导和离子液体的新型绿原酸印迹整体柱的制备及评价

选用1-乙烯基-3-乙基咪唑四氟硼酸盐([VElm]BF4,一种离子液体)作为功能单体,以Co2+为介导离子,结合1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐([BMIM]BF4)/二甲基亚砜(DMSO)二元致孔体系制备了绿原酸印迹整体柱。经过对制备参数的考察,确定最佳比例为绿原酸:Co2+:[VElm]BF4:EDMA(乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯)(摩尔比)=1:1:5:20,[BMIM]BF4:DMSO=3:1(V/V),最大印迹因子达2.10。通过优化色谱条件,最终在乙腈:20 mmol/L乙酸钠缓冲液(pH 4.2)=70:30(V/V)时实现了绿原酸及其类似物的完全分离。由此可见,以离子液体为功能单体及致孔剂,在金属介导策略下制备的分子印迹聚合物可实现绿原酸的特异性识别及分离。

Highly hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes: Field variables to control emulsion type

Highly hydrophobically modified (with n-dodecylamide chain) linear poly(acrylic acid)s (HHMPAAH) and poly(sodium acrylate)s (HHMPAANa) with various degrees of grafting (τ) were synthesized and used as emulsifiers of the n-dodecane/water system. The type of emulsion, oil in water (O/W) or water in oil (W/O), was investigated as a function of the polymer chemical structure (τ, salt or acid form of the copolymer) and aqueous phase electrolyte concentration (NaNO₃). Increasing τ and/or salt concentration was found to favor the formation of inverse emulsions. Direct liquid–liquid dispersions are more likely to form with poly(sodium acrylate)s than with poly(acrylic acid)s. Hence, field variables such as τ, pH and ionic strength are relevant parameters to control emulsion type. Moreover, a balanced polyelectrolyte neither soluble in oil nor in water was synthesized for the first time. With this original emulsifier, the dispersion type was found to change from O/W to W/O with polymer salting out. The work provides convenient model system for fundamental studies of polymer conformation at liquid–liquid interfaces. Received: 31 March 1998 Accepted: 30 April 1998     

THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY A WATER-COMPATIBLE HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENT

Equilibrium data for the adsorption of phenolic compounds, i.e., phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions by a water-compatible hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent (NJ-8) within temperature range of 283-323 K were obtained and correlated with a Freundlich-type of isotherm equation, so that equilibrium constants KF and n were obtained. The capacities of equilibrium adsorption for all the four phenolic compounds on the NJ-8 from aqueous solutions are around 2 times as high as those of Amberlite XAD-4, which may be attributed to the unusual micropore structure and the partial polarity on the network. The values of the enthalpy (always negative) are indicative of an exothermic process, which manifests the adsorption of all the four phenolic compounds on the two polymeric adsorbents to be a process of physical adsorption. The negative values of free energy change show that the solute is more concentrated on the adsorbent than in the bulk solution. The absolute free energy values of adsorption for NJ-8 are always higher than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which indicates that phenolic compounds are preferentially adsorbed on NJ-8. The negative values of the adsorption entropy are consistent with the restricted mobilities of adsorbed molecules of phenolic compounds as compared with the molecules in solution. The adsorption entropy values of phenolic compounds for NJ-8 are lower than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which means the micropores of NJ-8 require more orderly arranged adsorbate.

Fluorinated monomer–styrene copolymer latex particles: I. kinetic studies in a soap-free aqueous medium

Soap-free emulsion copolymerization of 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (3FEA) with styrene was carried out by using potassium persulfate as an initiator, and the effects of the weight fraction of 3FEA in the monomer feed on the kinetics and the particle size were investigated. Monomer conversions were followed by a gravimetric method, revealing that the overall polymerization rate increased exponentially with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. According to dynamic light scattering measurement, the final particle size was found to decrease with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. The number of particles for 3FEA homopolymerization was roughly twice as large as that at the fraction of 0.9, although both fractions had the almost same polymerization rates. These results indicate that soap-free emulsion homopolymerization of 3FEA would proceed not only inside the polymer particles but also in the aqueous phase throughout the polymerization.     

Picolinamide-Cu(Ac)2-imprinted polymer with high potential for recognition of picolinamide-copper acetate complex

In this report, with semi-empirical quantum method, we have studied the conformation and energy of supermolecule composed of picolinamide and its positional isomers with methacrylic acid. We tried to explore the reason why picolinamide was not likely to show imprinting effect when using methacrylic acid as functional monomer in our previous work. In order to produce imprinting effect, which was not achieved based on hydrogen bonding interaction, we have synthesized a molecular-imprinted polymer (MIP) based on copper ion coordination in prepolymerization. The complex in prepolymerization was composed of copper(II), acetate, picolinamide and 4-vinylpyridine (4-Vpy). Suprisingly, the MIP had high selectivity to picolinamide-copper acetate complex, and changes of either copper ion, picolinamide or acetate would result in decrease in the imprinting effect. This is also the first example where the high selective recognition of the MIP to its template was achieved mainly by inhibiting the binding of non-template rather than enhancing the binding of the template. And this report can be also looked upon as a first step towards the solution to the problem of imprinting of template that contains intramolecular hydrogen bond.     

SINGLE AND BINARY ADSORPTION PERFORMANCE OF SALICYLIC ACID AND 5-SULFOSALICYLIC ACID ONTO HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENTS

Single and binary adsorption behaviors of salicylic acid and 5-sulfosalicylic acid onto hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents, i.e. NDA-101 and NDA-99 were investigated. The Freundlich model can successfully describe all the adsorption isotherms tested, which indicates a favorable and exothermic adsorption process. The adsorption of salicylic acid relies on π-π interaction, while the electrostatic interaction further influences the adsorption of 5-sulfosalicylic acid onto NDA-99. The adsorptive capacity of salicylic acid on NDA-99 decreases but increases on NDA-101 with 5-sulfosalicylic acid as the background component in a binary solute system. The amount of 5-sulfosalicylic acid adsorbed was decreased with the increase in initial concentration of salicylic acid on both adsorbents. The competition for the adsorption sites is considered to be predominant in the solid-to-liquid interaction process. The adsorption selectivity of salicylic acid onto NDA-101 is higher than onto NDA-99 by more than an order of magnitude. Thus, combination technique involving NDA-101 followed by NDA-99 can be effectively applied to separate and recover salicylic acid and 5-sulfosalicylic acid from wastewater.     

Heat effects and rates and molecular mechanisms of water sorption by perfluorinated polymer materials bearing functional groups

The heat effects and the rates and equilibrium quantities of H₂O vapour sorbed and desorbed on polymeric perfluorinated materials (functional groups -SO₃H, -SC₃Na, -SO₃K) and on material treated with FeCl₃ solution as sorbent were investigated.Sorbed H₂O may be completely desorbed in vacuum at 443 K. The material bearing -SO₃H has maximum sorption affinity: the molar heat of -SO₃H wetting is close to that of H₂SO₄ wetting. The differential heat of sorption decreases from 68 kJ mol^–1 atn0(n=H₂O/-SO₃H) to 45 kJ mol^–1 atn5, but not below the heat of H₂O condensation. The -SO₃H samples sorb H₂O vapour in the presence of liquid H₂O at 293 K up ton=17. The -SO₃K material has minimum affinity for H₂O: the equilibrium quantity sorbed in room air is less by a factor of 4 than that for the -SO₃H material. The spatial arrangement of H₂O molecules near the sulpho groups is considered.
