Ionic absorption of polypropylene functionalized by surface grafting and reactions
Authors:Weiping Lin  You-Lo Hsieh
Abstract:Plasma-induced surface graft copolymerization of acrylic acid on polypropylene fibers and the subsequent reactions of the grafted carboxylic groups are reported. The extents of grafting was controlled by the plasma conditions. Reactions of the carboxylic acid with selected amines resulted in ion-exchanging and chelating functionalities. In general, ion adsorption is enhanced by higher levels of grafting and by raising temperature during adsorption. The adsorption level and preferences among ions of these functionalized fibers depend on the structure of the functional groups, i.e., the structure of the spacer and terminal groups. The carboxylic acid groups of the PP-g-AA fibers which behave like weakly acidic ion-exchangers are attributed to the low metal ion adsorption and the lack of ion preference. The F1 fibers with flexible  CH2CH2 spacer and small terminal  OH in the functional group exhibits highest ion adsorption among all functionalized fibers studied here. With benzene spacers, metal adsorption can be enchanced by the electron-donating nature of the terminal group. With the same ester end group in the functional structure, F3 fibers which contain benzene ring spacers show higher ion adsorption than F4 and F5 which have CH2 and NH spacers, respectively. The ion preference and adsorption ability of the functionalized fibers, i.e., equilibrium binding constants (Kb) and saturation constants (Ks) derived from adsorption isotherms, also depend on the functional group structures. Kb increases with increasing grafting yield, increasing the electron donor atom in either terminal bonds or spacer, and reducing the steric hindrance of spacer. The Ks values are affected by the accessibility of functional groups, the size of spacer, and the terminal group structure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
