Synthesis, modification and characterization of core-shell fluoroacrylate copolymer latexes

Core-shell fluoroacrylate copolymer latex, typically used for the protection of ancient stone monument, was synthesized in this paper by semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization with butyl acrylate (BA) served as the core, methyl methacrylate (MMA), BA and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFHMA, C₁₁H₈O₂F₁₂) served as the shell. At the same time, the above core-shell fluoroacrylate latex was modified by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, Si(OC₂H₅)₄) in the presence of silane coupling agent dodecyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS, C₁₂H₂₅Si(OCH₃)₃). The chemical component of the final latex was analyzed by FT-IR. Morphology structure and the particle size of core-shell latex were determined by TEM. The effect of DFHMA and TEOS content on the latex and film properties was characterized by SEM-EDX, AFM, TEM, DSC and UV-vis. The analysis results indicated that the copolymer latex particle presented uniform sphere core-shell structure with 40-50 nm in diameter. About 30 wt% DFHMA gave favorable characteristics both in latex and in film properties. Compared with core-shell fluoroacrylate latex, the modified fluoroacrylate copolymer displayed, when TEOS was controlled in 2.2-3.8 wt%, sound performances in hydrophobic, mechanics, thermodynamics and resistance to ultraviolet.     

Monomer reactivity ratios for fluoroacrylate and butyl methacrylate in miniemulsion copolymerizations initiated by potassium persulphate

Miniemulsion copolymerization of butyl mathacrylate(BMA) with fluoroacrylate(HFMA,TFMA) was carried out at 70℃by employing potassium persulphate(KPS) as initiator.Copolymer compositions at low conversion levels were determined by ~1H NMR spectra techniques.The reactivity ratios were evaluated by employing Kellen-Tudos(K-T) methods,which yields the apparent reactivity ratios,r_(BMA)=0.74,r_(HFMA) = 0.87 and r_(BMA) = 0.73,r_(TFMA) = 0.75,respectively,and Q- and e-values of HFMA and TFMA were calculated by...     

MODIFICATION OF SILK FIBER via EMULSION GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION WITH FLUOROACRYLATE

2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-Octafluoropentyl acrylate was grafted onto silk fiber in a two-step heterogeneous system through the vinyl bonds of acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate modified on the silk.The grafted copolylner was analyzed by FTIR and WAXD,and the results revealed that the fluoroacrylate was successfully grafted onto silk fiber and the crystalline structure of silk fibroin withβ-sheet structure was not changed after graft copolymerization.The FT-IR corrected method was used to simulate the grafting yield onto ...     

氟代丙烯酸酯三元共聚物细乳液的合成与表征

在低乳化剂用量和不加助乳化剂的条件下,采用细乳液聚合方法,合成了平均粒径在110～150nm的氟代丙烯酸酯(FA)、甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)及甲基丙烯酸丁酯(BMA)三元共聚物乳液.利用GPC,FTIR及¹HNMR谱表征了共聚物分子量和结构组成,采用激光光散射法研究了聚合过程中粒径变化规律,通过接触角方法对共聚物表面性能进行了表征.结果表明,油溶性引发剂AIBN引发FA-MMA-BMA三元细乳液共聚合的主要成核场所为单体液滴.即每个单体液滴都是一个独立的微型反应器,可避免因为单体水溶性的差异而使共聚组成产生漂移.细乳液聚合合成含氟共聚物乳液的分子量分布窄(1.3～1.5),乳液稳定性能好,共聚物在低含氟量下即表现出优异的疏水疏油性能.
