Graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto poly(vinyl alcohol) initiated by potassium diperiodatonickelate(IV)

The graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with a potassium diperiodatonickelate(IV) [Ni(IV)]–PVA redox system as an initiator was investigated in an alkaline medium. The grafting parameters were determined as functions of the temperature and the concentrations of the monomer and initiator. The structures of the graft copolymers were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The Ni(IV)–PVA system was found to be an efficient redox initiator for this graft copolymerization. A single‐electron‐transfer mechanism was proposed for the formation of radicals and the initiation. Other acrylate monomers, such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, n‐butyl acrylate, and n‐butyl methacrylate, were used as reductants for graft copolymerization. These reactions definitely occurred to some degree. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 87: 529–534, 2003     

Graft copolymerizaztion of methyl acrylate onto chitosan initiated by potassium diperiodatocuprate (III)

A novel redox system, potassium diperiodatocuprate [Cu (III)–chitosan], was employed to initiate the graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) onto chitosan in alkali aqueous solution. The effects of reaction variables such as monomer concentration, initiator concentration, pH and temperature were investigated. By means of a series of copolymerization reactions, the grafting conditions were optimized. Cu (III)–chitosan system was found to be an efficient redox initiator for this graft copolymerization.

In this article, a mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of radicals and the initiation. Finally, the graft copolymer was used as the compatibilizer in blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and chitosan. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms indicate that the graft copolymer improved the compatibility of the blend. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Graft copolymerization of sodium acrylate onto organophilic montmorillonites initiated by potassium diperiodatonickelate (IV) and application of graft copolymer in water‐superabsorbent

The graft copolymerization of sodium acrylate (SA) onto organophilic montmorillonites (OMMT) initiated by redox reaction of potassium diperiodatonickelate (IV) [Ni(IV)] with reactive groups on OMMT substrate was studied in alkaline medium. The grafting parameters have been investigated as a function of the ratio of monomer to OMMT, the concentration of initiator, temperature, and pH value. The structure of the graft copolymer (OMMT‐g‐PSA) was systematically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that [Ni(IV)] belongs to a highly efficient initiator for graft copolymerization of SA onto OMMT via the redox iniation (grafting efficiency > 95%). Furthermore, the experimental results also showed that the graft copolymer gels synthesized under optimal condition exhibited a maximum water absorbency of 1104 g/g in distilled water and 111 g/g in 0.2 wt % NaCl solution, respectively, and its water retention ability is more than 91% after centrifugal separation for 2 h. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structure of the block copolymer was determined by infrared, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). A mechanism is proposed to explain the generation of radicals and the initiation of block copolymerization. The block copolymer was used as the compatibilizer in blends of PMMA and Nylon6. The SEM photographs show that the block copolymer greatly improved the compatibility of the blend. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 1312–1317, 2006     

Graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto poly(vinyl alcohol) initiated by potassium diperiodatoargentate(III)

The graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using potassium diperiodatoargentate(III) [Ag(III)]–PVA redox system as initiator was studied in an alkaline medium. Some structural features and properties of the graft copolymer were confirmed by Fourier‐transfer infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.

A mechanism based on two single‐electron transfer steps is proposed to explain the formation of radicals and the initiation profile. Other acrylate monomers, such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and n‐butyl acrylate, were also used to produce graft copolymerizations. It has been confirmed that grafting occurred to some degree. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed in a study of the moisture resistance of the graft copolymer.

Photoinduced graft copolymerization. IX. Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto nylon 6 in the presence of pyridine–bromine charge–transfer complex as photoinitiator

Photoinduced graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto nylon 6 was investigated by using pyridine–bromine (Py–Br₂) charge–transfer complex as initiator. The graft yield increased with increasing monomer and initiator concentration at the initial stages, and therefore it decreased. The initiator exponent was computed to be 0.5. The reaction was carried out at three different temperatures, and the overall activation energy was computed. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.     

Natural rubber‐g‐methyl methacrylate/poly(methyl methacrylate) blends

The grafting of the methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer onto natural rubber using potassium persulfate as an initiator was carried out by emulsion polymerization. The rubber macroradicals reacted with MMA to form graft copolymers. The morphology of grafted natural rubber (GNR) was determined by transmission electron microscopy and it was confirmed that the graft copolymerization was a surface‐controlled process. The effects of the initiator concentration, reaction temperature, monomer concentration, and reaction time on the monomer conversion and grafting efficiency were investigated. The grafting efficiency of the GNR was determined by a solvent‐extraction technique. The natural rubber‐g‐methyl methacrylate/poly(methyl methacrylate) (NR‐g‐MMA/PMMA) blends were prepared by a melt‐mixing system. The mechanical properties and the fracture behavior of GNR/PMMA blends were evaluated as a function of the graft copolymer composition and the blend ratio. The tensile strength, tear strength, and hardness increased with an increase in PMMA content. The tensile fracture surface examined by scanning electron microscopy disclosed that the graft copolymer acted as an interfacial agent and gave a good adhesion between the two phases of the compatibilized blend. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Ce(IV)‐initiated graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) fiber

Graft copolymerization of acrylic acid onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber by a redox system using ceric (IV) initiator was studied with regard to various parameters of importance: acrylic acid concentration, ceric (IV) concentration, nitric acid concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Based on the morphology of the PET fiber, it could be concluded that ceric (IV) in dilute nitric acid is a redox initiator for the surface graft copolymerization of the acrylic acid/PET system. The grafted PET fiber showed an increase in improved moisture regain to reach 900% at 39.5% graft yield. The dyeability with the basic dye and disperse dye significantly increased by 100 and 22%, respectively, as a result of the grafting onto PET fiber. Both tenacity and elongation gradually decreased by 51.2 and 28.9%, respectively, with increasing graft yield, which reduced the fiber service lifespan. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Graft copolymerization of cyclohexyl methacrylate (CMA) onto chloroprene rubber (CR) was carried out in toluene using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The graft copolymer was isolated from the gross polymer by extracting it with a butanone solution. Infrared (IR) spectra of the graft copolymer showed the occurrence of grafting.

Blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/natural rubber‐g‐(styrene‐co‐methyl methacrylate) for improved impact resistance of PVC

To improve the mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), the possibility of combining PVC with elastomers was considered. Modification of natural rubber (NR) by graft copolymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) was carried out by emulsion polymerization by using redox initiator to provide an impact modifier for PVC. The impact resistance, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of St and MMA grafted NR [NR‐g‐(St‐co‐MMA)]/PVC (graft copolymer product contents of 5, 10, and 15%) blends were investigated as a function of the amount of graft copolymer product. It was found that the impact strength of blends was increased with an increase of the graft copolymer product content. DMA studies showed that NR‐g‐(St‐co‐MMA) has partial compatibility with PVC. SEM confirmed a shift from brittle failure to ductility with an increase graft copolymer content in the blends. The mechanical properties showed that NR‐g‐(St‐co‐MMA) interacts well with PVC and can also be used as an impact modifier for PVC. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Grafting vinyl monomers onto silk fibers. VIII. Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk using tetravalent manganese–oxalic acid redox system

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk fibers was investigated in aqueous solution using the Mn(IV)–oxalic acid redox system. The copolymerization reaction was carried out under a variety of conditions such as different monomer, initiator, oxalic acid, acid concentrations, and temperatures. The graft yield increases with increasing initiator concentration up to 5 × 10^?2M, and with further increase of the initiator concentration it decreases. The graft yield also increases with increasing sulfuric acid concentration up to 15 × 10^?2M, and decreases thereafter. The rate of grafting also increases with increase in oxalic acid concentration up to 1.5 × 10^?2M and 84.592 × 10^?2M, respectively, and thereafter the rate of grafting shows down. The effect of temperature, solvents, and salts on graft yield has also been investigated and a plausible rate expression has been derived.     

Photograft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate on viscose fiber using titanium(III) chloride–potassium persulfate redox initiator in a limited aqueous system

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto viscose fibers were studied under photoactive conditions with visible light using titanium(III) chloride—potassium persulfate as redox initiator in a limited aqueous system. Polymerization carried out in the dark at 40 ± 1°C produced little graft copolymer whereas that in the presence of light at 40 ± 1°C produced significant grafting. Percent grafting, percent total conversion, and grafting efficiency (%) were studied by varying time, initiator concentration, monomer concentration, solvent composition, and pH of the medium. High percent grafting (～ 200%), high grafting efficiency (～ 98%), and percent total conversion (～ 47%) were obtained with little homopolymer formation. A suitable mechanism for grafting has been discussed and also the characterization of the grafted fibers were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A graft copolymer of 2-vinylnaphthalene (2-VN) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) was synthesized in tetrahydrofuran using benzoyl peroxide. The effects of EPDM content, and ratio of 2-VN to MMA, reaction time, reaction temperature, and initiator concentration in the graft copolymerization were examined. The light resistance, thermal stability, and the tensile properties of the graft copolymer were investigated by using Fade-o-Meter, thermogravimetric analyzer, and tensile tester. It was found that the light resitance and the heat resistance as well as the tensile strength of the graft copolymer are considerably better than those of the acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) copolymer. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The graft yield was influenced by various parameters like reaction time, temperature, and concentrations of acid, glucose, polyethylene (PE), starch, and initiator. A maximum graft yield of 85.66% was obtained at a temperature of 50°C and at higher concentration of starch. Effect of grafting on crystallinity, morphology, and thermal properties of modified PE has been evaluated using X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA). Biodegradability of starch‐grafted PE has been tested applying soil‐burial test. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 3229–3239, 2006     

Polystyrene-graft-acrylic acid as compatibilizer of polystyrene/nylon 6,6 blends

Preliminary investigations to study the feasibility of using polystyrene grafted with acrylic acid to blend polystyrene (PS) and nylon 6,6 (N66) have been done. The graft copolymer (PS-g-AA) was synthesized by reacting polystyrene with acrylic acid in the presence of a free radical initiator using the solid phase graft copolymerization technique. Binary blends of N66/PS and N66/PS-g-AA were synthesized by melt mixing. The formation of a (PS-g-AA)-co-N66 copolymer during the blend preparation has been desired. The blend morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Significant reductions in the domain sizes of the dispersed minor phase were observed when PS-g-AA instead of PS was incorporated into the blend. The tensile properties of the blends were investigated. The belnds containing PS-g-AA were found to be stiffer (higher modulus) and stronger (higher tensile strength) as compared to the blends containing PS. These results are due to the better miscibility and adhesion between nylon 6,6 and the graft copolymer. The results of the rheological measurement of these blends further supports the above result and also indicates an increase in the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of the blend when polystyrene was replaced by the graft copolymer. This increase in the MWD of the compatibilized blend can be attributed to above assumed copolymer formation between the graft copolymer and nylon 6,6 due to the reaction between the carbonyl group of the acrylic acid and the amide and the terminal amine groups of nylon 6,6.     

Graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto chitosan initiated by potassium diperiodatoargentate (III)

A novel efficient redox system—potassium diperiodatoargentate [Ag(III)]‐chitosan—was employed to initiate the graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) onto chitosan in aqueous alkali solution. The effects of reaction variables such as monomer concentration, initiator concentration, reaction time, and temperature were investigated and the grafting conditions were optimized. The structures and the thermal stability of chitosan and chitosan‐g‐PMA were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The solubility of chitosan‐g‐PMA in some mixed solvent was tested. The graft copolymer was shown to be an effective compatibilizer in blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and chitosan. Finally, a mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of radicals and the initiation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 799–804, 2006     

Aqueous polymerization of ethyl acrylate initiated by ceric ion‐reducing agent systems in nitric acid medium

Kinetic study of aqueous polymerization of ethyl acrylate (EA) was carried out at 30 °C in dilute nitric acid medium by employing ammonium ceric nitrate (ACN)–methyl cellosolve (MC) and ACN–ethyl cellosolve (EC) as redox initiator systems. The ceric ion consumption was found to be first order with respect to ceric ion concentration with both initiator systems. The formation of complexes between Ce(IV) and reducing agents (RA) was observed.

A kinetic mechanism for aqueous polymerization of EA initiated by redox initiator systems is presented. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
