Summary: Butyl acrylate/vinyl acetate/acrylic acid (BA/VAc/AA) emulsion latexes were produced in a semi‐batch mode. The objective was to generate polymers with properties favoring their application as pressure‐sensitive adhesives. The influence of the individual monomer concentrations on final properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg), peel strength, shear strength and tack was investigated. To obtain the maximum amount of information in a reasonable number of runs, a constrained three‐component mixture design was used to define the experimental conditions. Latexes were coated onto a polyethylene terephthalate carrier and dried. Different empirical models (e.g. linear, quadratic and cubic mixture models) governing the individual properties (i.e. Tg, peel adhesion, shear resistance and tack) were developed and evaluated. In the given experimental region, no single model was found to fit all of the responses (i.e. the final properties). However, in all models the most significant factor affecting the final properties was the AA concentration, followed by the VAc concentration.

In this article, acrylonitrile (AN)/methacrylic acid (MAA)/acrylamide (AM) copolymer foam was prepared. DSC, TG and FTIR were
adopted to analyze the chemical reactions in AN/MAA/AM copolymer foam, and confirm its molecule structure. SEM was employed
to observe its cell structure, and the calculational method of resin distribution was founded basing on dodecahedron cell
structural model. At last, its mechanical properties and thermal resistance were tested. The results indicate that cyclization
reactions occur between adjacent AN/MAA units and MAA/AM units. Six-member imide rings, residuary MAA and AN units exist in
main chains, and imide groups crosslink the chains. AN/MAA/AM copolymer foam has flat and closed cell walls with a high cell
wall volume ratio. Cell wall volume ratios with the density of 32 kg/m3, 54 kg/m3 and 75 kg/m3 are 76%, 57% and 50% respectively. Because of rigid molecule structure and ideal cell structure, AN/MAA/AM copolymer foam
possesses excellent mechanical properties and thermal resistance. As the densities are 32 kg/m3, 54 kg/m3 and 75 kg/m3, tensile strength are 1.00 MPa, 1.85 MPa and 2.30 MPa, compressive strength are 0.40 MPa, 1.00 MPa and 1.72 MPa, and shear
strength are 0.45 MPa, 0.86 MPa and 1.29 MPa respectively. Heat distortion temperature of the copolymer foam is higher than
180 °C. 相似文献
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and copolymers of PAN containing comonomers of vinyl acetate (VAc), methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylamide (AM) and other acrylics are important precursors to the formation of carbon fibers. Fourier transform IR spectroscopy has proved to be an excellent technique with which to study the degradation of these polymers in the initial stages where cyclization of the polymer chain takes place. In this communication we present comparative rate studies of the degradation of three PAN copolymers containing approx. 4 wt% of VAc, MAA and AM respectively. The rate of degradation is observed to be markedly dependent upon the chemical structure of the comonomer. 相似文献
A new silicone containing allylic monomer, allyl 3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl carbamate (ATESPC), based on (3-isocyanatopropyl) triethoxysilane (ICPTES) and allyl alcohol (AAL) has been synthesized for formulation of waterborne polyurethane (WPU). Then a series of new siliconized WPU, vinyl acetate (VAc)/2-ethylhexylacrylate (2-EHA) and ATESPC hybrid latexes P(VAc-2-EHA)/PU/Si have been successfully synthesized by the emulsion copolymerization in the presence of a WPU dispersion by using potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. The WPU dispersion has been synthesized by a polyaddition reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), on polypropylene glycol (PPG-1000) and dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) as chain extender. The NCO chain ends being reacted with water (which act as a further chain extender producing some urea bonds). Films were obtained for different hybrid latexes of various compositions. The resulted monomer characterized by Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton (1H NMR), and carbon (13C NMR) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopes, respectively. The copolymers also were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Thermal properties of the copolymers were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The morphology of copolymers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and then the effects of silicone concentrations on the water absorption ratio, was examined. 相似文献
