Significant differences were found in the physical and mechanical propertiesof the latexes and films, depending on the methods of monomer feeding. The results both intheory and experiments demonstrated that the copolymer composition and the length of the VDC sequences in the copolymer could be controlled by the modes of monomer feeding process.展开更多

Th...The gradient copolymers of acrylic acid and trifluoroethyl methacrylate（coded as P（TFEMAgrad-AA）） were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation transfer（RAFT） emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. The spontaneous batch feeding approach was used to control the gradient chain sequence. Transmission electron microscopy（TEM） analysis revealed that the P（TFEMA-grad-AA） can self-assemble to form spherical micelles, rodlike micelles or vesicles in selective solvents. Morphological transition of the P（TFEMA-grad-AA） micelles was sensitive to the water content of the dioxane/water mixed solvent. More interestingly, Ag nanoparticles（NPs） were encapsulated by the P（TFEMA-grad-AA） micelles during the selfassembly process. The gradient chain sequence made the Ag NPs easily enter the core of the micelles, even when P（TFEMA-grad-AA） had less hydrophobic fluoro-units and more hydrophilic units. TEM images with energy dispersive spectrometer indicated that the nanocomposite micelles consisted of a Ag NPs core and a gradient copolymer shell.展开更多

The thermal property of this copolymer was measures by dynamic thermomechanical analysis(DMA). The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness and fie-cural Strength were StUdied experimentally. The results indicated that not only the monomer component but also the polymerization technologies have effect on the properties of the copolymer. The optimum monomer content and suitable polymerization method were obtained.展开更多

Effects of acid treatment conditions on the particle morphology were investigated. Results show that one to three pores were formed inside most of particles after post-treatment. At pH 7.0, when the treatment temperature was lower than 70℃, the size of particles and the volume of pores remained almost unchanged, and these two values increased significantly when the temperature was higher than 70℃. Both the particle size and the pore volume decreased with the increase of initial pH value and treatment time in the acid treatment. As the pH was below 4.0 and the treatment time was longer than 180 min, the particles shrunk in size.展开更多

The polymer was characterized by FTIR and SEC. The emulsifier-free emul-sion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and n-butyl acrylate (BA) containingvarious concentrations of PEO-A was studied. In all cases stable emulsion coplymerizationsof MMA and BA were obtained. The stabilizing effect was found to be dependent on themolecular weight and the feed amount of the macromonomer.展开更多

In this work, a three.arm star-like fluorinated polymer was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization （ ATRP ） method and applied as a surfactant in supereriticul carbon dioxide （scCO2 ）. Then 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonie acid （AMPS） was grafted onto CS （CS-g-PAMPS） in H2O/scCO2 inverse emulsion. The effects of mass ratio of water and surfactants （Rw/s ） and pressure of scCO2 on the grafting reaction were investigated. The grafting rate, partide size, and dispersity in water of CS-g-PAMPS varied greatly as Rw/s and pressure of scCO2 changed. It could be found that the value of Rw/s at 12 and the pressure of scCO2 at 30 MPa were the optimum conditions for the grafting reaction. CS-g-PAMPS prepared in this reaction system has higher grafting rate, smaller particle sizes, and better dispersity in water than those prepared via conventional methods.展开更多
