A series of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA)/methacrylamide (MAA)-grafted silk fibers obtained in various comonomer compositions was prepared and their structural characteristics were studied by X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. HEMA/MAA-grafted silk fibers with a graft yield of about 60% obtained in a HEMA/MAA mixture system containing 20% of HEMA and 80% of MAA on a weight basis showed endothermic peaks at 280 and 420°C (shoulder form), which are attributed to the thermal decomposition of the MAA and HEMA polymers, respectively, in addition to the thermal decomposition peak of the silk fibroin fiber which appeared at 323°C. These DSC results suggest that the HEMA/MAA-grafted silk fiber showed a low compatibility in the relation between the silk fibroin molecules and HEMA and/or MAA polymers. The crystalline structure of the HEMA/MAA-grafted silk fiber remained unchanged regardless of the HEMA/MAA grafting ratio even when the graft yield value reached 120%. 相似文献
Graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) onto silk fibers, using Mn(III)–sulphate as initiator, has been investigated, in aqueous sulphuric acid in the temperature range of 30–55°C. Grafting reaction has been studied by varying the concentration of monomer, Mn(III), sulphuric acid, temperature, and also with the modified silk. The graft yield increases significantly with increase of monomer concentrations to the extent of 0.85M, after which the rate falls. With increase in Mn(III) concentration and H+ ion concentration the graft yield increases, but after an optimum concentration a depression in the graft yield is noticed. The rate of the reaction is temperature-dependent; with increase of temperature the graft-on increases. Among the solvent composition studied a solvent/water mixture containing 10% of the solvent seems to constitute the most favorable medium for grafting, and a further increase of solvent composition decreases the graft yield. The effect of various additives such as transition metal salts, aromatic and heterocyclic amines on grafting reaction has been studied. A suitable mechanism for grafting has been proposed. Finally physical characterization such as thermal analysis (TGA) of the grafted samples has been carried out in order to ensure grafting and to study the change in the properties of the fibers. 相似文献
The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk fibers initiated by a hydrogen peroxide–thiourea redox system was investigated under various conditions. The effects of monomer, initiator, temperature, acidity of the medium, and solvent on the rate of grafting were studied. The graft yield increases with the increase of monomer and initiator concentration. The graft yield also increases with the increase of acid concentration upto 22.50 × 10?2M and thereafter it decreases. The effect of some inorganic salts on the rate of grafting has also been investigated, and a suitable mechanism has been suggested. 相似文献
Summary
In order to study the graft modification of chitosan derivatives, hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCTS) was prepared and characterized
by FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis Methylacrylic acid (MAA) was grafted onto HPCTS in an aqueous solution using ammonium persuffate
(APS) as an initiator. Evidence of grafting was obtained by comparison of FTIR spectra of HPCTS and the grafted copolymer
as well as solubility characteristics of the products. Variations of grafting percentage and grafting efficiency with reaction
time, temperature, concentraton of initiator and monomer had been investigated.

Summary: By using DSC, 13C CP/MAS NMR and SEM, we studied the physical properties and chemical structure of silk fibers grafted with methacrylamide (MAA). At a given MAA concentration, the inverse of fiber weight gain linearly increased with increasing square root of the initiator concentration, and at a given initiator concentration the fiber weight gain increased with increasing MAA concentration. 13C CP/MAS NMR demonstrated that the primary and secondary structure remained unchanged, regardless of MAA grafting, implying the poor compatibility and the lack of new additional hydrogen bonding between the silk fiber and the MAA graft polymer. The degree of grafting in MAA‐grafted silk fiber (the accurate amount of actually loaded MAA polymer within the fiber matrix) can be evaluated from determination of the ratio of heat capacities calculated from two individual endothermic DSC peaks of silk fibroin and MAA polymer. The major endothermic peaks attributable to thermal degradation of the silk fiber and MAA graft polymer shifted to a higher temperature with increasing fiber weight gain by grafting. These findings are useful for the industrial production of grafted silk fiber with higher thermal stability.

Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk was investigated in aqueous solution using potassium peroxydiphosphate as initiator. The rate of grafting was determined by varying monomer, peroxydiphosphate ion, temperature, and solvent. The graft yield increased with increasing peroxydiphosphate ion upto 8 × 10?3 mol/1 and with further increase of peroxydiphosphate ion the graft yield decreased. The graft yield increased with increasing monomer concentration upto 9 wt.-% and with further increase of monomer the graft yield decreased. The rate of grafting increased with the increase of temperature. The effect of acid and water soluble solvents and salts on graft yield was investigated and a suitable rate expression was derived. 相似文献
The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto silk initiated by thallium (III) perchlorate was investigated in aqueous medium. The rate of grafting was evaluated varying the concentration of monomer, initiator, and acid, and the temperature. The graft yield was found to increase with increasing the monomer and initiator concentrations. The graft yield was found to decrease with increasing the acid concentration. The effect of inhibitors and various solvents on the graft yield was studied. From the Arrhenius plot the overall activation energy was found to be 4.2 kcal/mol. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed, and a rate equation has been derived. 相似文献
