The structure and morphology of graft, copolymers were studied with infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The size, shape and roughness of surface of the grafted starch granules are changed after grafting.展开更多

The effect of reaction time and the molar ratio of D,L-lactide to glucose structural unit of starch on monomer conversion(C%), graft (G%) and graft efficiency (GE%) were studied. The C%, G% and GE% could approach 37.3%,179.7% and 68.0%, respectively when the molar ratio of D,L-lactide to glucose structural unit of starch is 10:1 and the graft copolymerization was carried out at 80-85℃ for 4 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The Fourier transforms infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy were used in order to characterize the graft copolymers. FTIR spectra show that absorption band at 1740 cm-1 confirmed the formation of ester bond, indicating the starch /D,L-lactide graft copolymers were produced, the DSC characteristic results show the melting temperature of the graft copolymer were elevated slightly as the molar ratio of D,L-lactide to glucose structural units of starch increased and the X-ray diffraction spectra show the synthesized graft copolymers were amorphous. The degradability of graft copolymer was tested with the aid of acid, alkali and microbe such as bacillus subtilis and staphylococcus aureus. The results of water resistance show the graft copolymer produced can be used as a component of impermeable coating for cardboard.展开更多

The weak acid red GN dye adsorption and adsorptive filtration performance of the resulted PP fabrics were investigated.The results showed that the grafting copolymerization preferred to happen in the inner layer of the fabrics. The water flux of the grafted fabrics decreases with the increase of grafting yield. The collapse of the grafted polymer chains causes the flux increase in acidic condition,or vice versa at alkaline version. The coiling of the polyelectrolyte chains upon the dye adsorption seems to violate the routine assumption of the rigid substrate, and this gets the adsorption energy constant negative. The static adsorption process follows the Lagergren's pseudo-second order kinetic equation. The removals of circa( ca.) 100% of the total permeation volume3 500 mL simulated dye wastewater was reached during permeation.The dye adsorbed fabrics were regenerated by the mixed media of the cationic surfactant / ethanol /water. The grafted fabric assumes stable fabric integrity and stability during permeation,and presents excellent dye adsorption capacity,easy desorption, and repeatable utilization.展开更多

The random copolymers of poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate) (P(VBC-co-VAC)) with number average molecular weight (Mn) from 2000 to 6900, relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD, Mw/Mn ca. 2.0) and with different copolymer composition of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) from 17 mol% to 62 mol% could be obtained. The P(VBC-co-VAC) copolymers with an average number of 7 to 13 initiating sites of benzyl chloride per macromolecule could be used for the cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB). The cationic polymerizations of IB were further conducted by using P(VBC-co-VAC) copolymers as macroinitiators in conjunction with TICl4 at -40℃ in CH2Cl2. The effects of VBC/TiCl4 (molar ratio) on monomer conversion, Mn and MWD of the resultant copolymers were investigated under 3 sets of conditions. It is found that P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymers with relatively narrow MWD (Mw/Mn ca. 2.0) and with terminal tert-chlorine functional groups in branched PIB chains could be successfully synthesized when VBC/TiCl4 (molar ratio) was set in the range from 0.10 to 1.12. The unimodal GPC curve of the P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymers by RI detector was almost in harmony with the GPC curve by UV detector. The TEM image of the P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymer stained by RuO indicated that the copolymer formed a two-phase morphology with P(VBC-co-VAC)-rich domains of 20-100 um in size tethered by PIB branch segments.展开更多

The combined effects of different reaction conditions on the water absorbency of the graft copolymers were optimized through mathematical statistical methods of range and square variance analysis. The maximum water absorbency was obtained when the ratio of dried starch to distilled water was 1 : 8 ( w/w ), the ratio of starch to monomer 1 : 6 ( w/w ), the initiator concentration 4.40 × 10^-3 mol/L, the crosslinker concentration 10.86 × 10^-2 mol/L, and the basicity to AA 0. 70( mol/mol ). Both the graft copolymers have an excellent water absorption capacity in distilled water aact in 0. 9wt% NaCl solution. It was also found that in distilled water the water absorbency of St-g-pAA was higher than that of St-g-p( AA-co-AM) , while in 0.9wt% NaCl solution, the situation was just the reverse. The correlation between the water absorbeacy anct the nature of the solution anct the properties of the copolymers, which is related to the properties of the monomers, was discussed. The grafting of AA ancl AM onto starch was confirmed by the IR spectra of St-g-pAA and St-g-p( AA-co-AM).展开更多

文摘Thermosensitive core-shell particles were synthesized through graft copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with[3-(methacryloxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane(MPT)coupled on the surface of ultrafine silica beads.The copolymerization was carried out using polyvinyl alcohol as a surfactant,water and cyclohexanol as mixed solvent,and 2,29-azobis(isobutyronitrile)as an initiator.The effect of surfactant concentration and the composition of the mixed solvent on the graft rate were investigated.The structure of modified silica was confirmed by infrared spectra.Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)has revealed the thermosensitivity of the particles.The thermosensitive particles were used as packing materials of high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)columns for separating naphthalene derivatives.Satisfactory separation was obtained by controlling the temperature of the column.In contrast,the packing material of silica-MPT has no such separation efficiency due to the lack of thermosensitivity.The effect of the composition of the mobile phase on the separating efficiency was also investigated.The temperature-controlled separation was effective only when the water content was higher than 90%(v/v)in the water-methanol mobile phase.The mechanism for the temperature-controlled separation is attributed to a polarity change of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)which undergoes volume phase transition on the silica surface as the temperature increases.

文摘The monomer methacrylamido propyl trimethy ammonium chloride( MAPTAC) was copolymerized onto the fiber surface of polypropylene( PP) nonwoven fabric under ultroviole radiation. The weak acid red GN dye adsorption and adsorptive filtration performance of the resulted PP fabrics were investigated.The results showed that the grafting copolymerization preferred to happen in the inner layer of the fabrics. The water flux of the grafted fabrics decreases with the increase of grafting yield. The collapse of the grafted polymer chains causes the flux increase in acidic condition,or vice versa at alkaline version. The coiling of the polyelectrolyte chains upon the dye adsorption seems to violate the routine assumption of the rigid substrate, and this gets the adsorption energy constant negative. The static adsorption process follows the Lagergren's pseudo-second order kinetic equation. The removals of circa( ca.) 100% of the total permeation volume3 500 mL simulated dye wastewater was reached during permeation.The dye adsorbed fabrics were regenerated by the mixed media of the cationic surfactant / ethanol /water. The grafted fabric assumes stable fabric integrity and stability during permeation,and presents excellent dye adsorption capacity,easy desorption, and repeatable utilization.

文摘Super absorbent resin(SAR)is prepared by aqueous high temperature polymerization using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC)as monomer backbone material,acrylic acid(AA)and acrylamide(AM)as the graft copolymer monomer,potassium persulfate(KPS)as the initiator to generate free radicals,and N,N`-methylenebisacrylamide(MBA)as cross-linking agent for cross-linking reaction.Simutaneously,the influence of individual factors on the water absorption is investigated,and these factors are mainly AA,AM,KPS,MBA,HPMC,and reaction temperature.The optimized conditions are obtained by the experiment repeating for several times.The water absorption multiplicity and salt absorption multiplicity under the conditions are 782.4 and 132.5 g/g,respectivity.Furthermore,the effects of different temperatures and salt concentrations on its water absorption,as well as the swelling kinetics of SAR are studied.It is indicated the water-absorbing swelling process is mainly caused by the difference in water osmotic pressure and Na+concentration inside and outside the cross-linked molecular structure of the resin,which is not only consistent with the quasi-secondary kinetic model,but also with the Fick diffusion model.

文摘The copolymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) and vinyl acetate (VAC) was carried out in toluene at 75℃ via radical polymerization using 2,2'-azo-bis-(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. The random copolymers of poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate) (P(VBC-co-VAC)) with number average molecular weight (Mn) from 2000 to 6900, relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD, Mw/Mn ca. 2.0) and with different copolymer composition of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) from 17 mol% to 62 mol% could be obtained. The P(VBC-co-VAC) copolymers with an average number of 7 to 13 initiating sites of benzyl chloride per macromolecule could be used for the cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB). The cationic polymerizations of IB were further conducted by using P(VBC-co-VAC) copolymers as macroinitiators in conjunction with TICl4 at -40℃ in CH2Cl2. The effects of VBC/TiCl4 (molar ratio) on monomer conversion, Mn and MWD of the resultant copolymers were investigated under 3 sets of conditions. It is found that P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymers with relatively narrow MWD (Mw/Mn ca. 2.0) and with terminal tert-chlorine functional groups in branched PIB chains could be successfully synthesized when VBC/TiCl4 (molar ratio) was set in the range from 0.10 to 1.12. The unimodal GPC curve of the P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymers by RI detector was almost in harmony with the GPC curve by UV detector. The TEM image of the P(VBC-co-VAC)-g-PIB copolymer stained by RuO indicated that the copolymer formed a two-phase morphology with P(VBC-co-VAC)-rich domains of 20-100 um in size tethered by PIB branch segments.
文摘The graft copolymerization of acrylamide ( AM ) / acrylic acid ( AA ) onto starch ( St- g-pAA and St-g-p(AA-co-AM) ) was carried out using an orthngonal test method. The combined effects of different reaction conditions on the water absorbency of the graft copolymers were optimized through mathematical statistical methods of range and square variance analysis. The maximum water absorbency was obtained when the ratio of dried starch to distilled water was 1 : 8 ( w/w ), the ratio of starch to monomer 1 : 6 ( w/w ), the initiator concentration 4.40 × 10^-3 mol/L, the crosslinker concentration 10.86 × 10^-2 mol/L, and the basicity to AA 0. 70( mol/mol ). Both the graft copolymers have an excellent water absorption capacity in distilled water aact in 0. 9wt% NaCl solution. It was also found that in distilled water the water absorbency of St-g-pAA was higher than that of St-g-p( AA-co-AM) , while in 0.9wt% NaCl solution, the situation was just the reverse. The correlation between the water absorbeacy anct the nature of the solution anct the properties of the copolymers, which is related to the properties of the monomers, was discussed. The grafting of AA ancl AM onto starch was confirmed by the IR spectra of St-g-pAA and St-g-p( AA-co-AM).

文摘Starch is the second largest natural biopolymer. Its unique biodegradable and biocompatible properties make it be increasingly applied to the field of biomedicine. As one kind of polysaccharide, starch is easily degraded into small organic molecules by amylase in the alimentary canal. The fact that the activity of amylase is restrained in the high acid environment in stomach provides an opportunity to prepare an intestinal-specific delivery carrier with
