Free‐radical grafting of acrylic acid onto isotactic polypropylene using styrene as a comonomer in supercritical carbon dioxide

Free‐radical grafting of acrylic acid (AAc) onto isotactic polypropylene (iPP) using styrene (St) as a comonomer in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) medium was studied. The effects of temperature and pressure of reaction on functionalization degree (grafting degree of AAc) of the products were analyzed. The increase of reaction temperature increases the diffusion of monomers and radicals in the disperse reaction system of SCCO₂. In addition, the increase of temperature accelerates the decomposition rate of 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), thus promoting grafting reaction. It was also observed that functionalization degree of the products decreases with the increase of pressure of SCCO₂ in the range of experiment. The effects of comonomer St on the functionalization degree of the products were investigated. The AAc graft degree of the resulting polymer was drastically higher in the present of St. It reached a maximum when the mass ratio of St and AAc was about 0.7 : 1. Because AAc is not sufficiently reactive toward iPP macroradicals, it would be helpful to use a second monomer that can react with them much faster than AAc. St preferentially reacts with the iPP macroradicals to form more stable styrene macroradicals, which then copolymerize with AAc to form branches. The highest functionalization degree was obtained when the AIBN was 0.75 wt %. When the initiator was used excessively, the functionalization degree decreased because of severe chain degradation of the iPP backbone. The morphologies of pure iPP and grafted iPP are different under the polarizing optical microscope. The diameter of the pure iPP spherulites is 20–38 μ and that of the grafted iPP spherulites is reduced with the increase of the functionalization degree of the products. This is proposed to be because the polar grafts formed during the reaction would have a tendency to associate in the hydrophobic PP environment. This might preserve some of the local crystalline order that existed during the reaction in the swollen iPP phase. It can be proven by a DSC cooling investigation that the crystallization temperature increased as the functionalization degree increased. This is proposed to be because the side‐chain of grafting polymer helps to bring about the heterogeneous nucleation in grafting polymer. Therefore, a large number of nuclei can emerge to a lesser supercooling degree. It can be also proven that the percent crystallization decreased as the functionalization degree increased, probably due to the grafted branches, which disrupted the regularity of the chain structure and increased the spacing between the chains. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of hyperbranched polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

A cheap acrylic AB* monomer, 2‐(2‐chloroacetyloxy)‐isopropyl acrylate (CAIPA), was prepared from 2‐hydroxyisopropyl acrylate with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The self‐condensing vinyl polymerization by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), a “living”/controlled radical polymerization, has yielded hyperbranched polymers. All the polymerization products were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR). CAIPA exhibited distinctive polymerization behavior that is similar to a classical step‐growth polymerization in the relationship of molecular weight to polymerization time, especially during the initial stage of the polymerization. However, a significant amount of monomer remained present throughout the polymerization, which is consistent with typical chain polymerization. Also, if a much longer polymerization time was used, the polymer became gel. As a result of the unequal reactivity of group A* and B*, the polymerization is different from an ideal self‐condensing vinyl polymerization: the branch structures of polymers prepared depend dramatically on the ratio of 2,2'‐bipyridyl to CAIPA. Hyperbranched polymers exhibit improved solubility in organic solvent, however, they have lower thermal stability than their linear analogs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Antimicrobial activity of statistical polymethacrylic sulfopropylbetaines against gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria

A series of statistical copolymers derived from 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate with four different hydrophobic comonomers (ethyl, butyl, cyclohexyl, and octyl methacrylates) have been prepared via conventional free radical copolymerization under bulk conditions. The copolymers have been subsequently modified, with 1,3‐propanesultone to yield the corresponding polysulfoproylbetaine derivatives. Those copolymers exhibiting the requisite aqueous solubility have been screened with respect to their antimicrobial activity against two common and notorious pathogens, namely Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). We show that certain copolymers do indeed exhibit antimicrobial activity. The extent of activity is related to the molecular characteristics of the materials such as the molar composition and structure of the hydrophobic comonomer. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

渤海莱州湾地下卤水纳滤过程的结垢趋势研究

针对莱州湾地下卤水纳滤过程中纳滤膜表面无机物结垢的问题,利用饱和度法系统研究了碳酸钙、硫酸钙在卤水体系和纳滤过程中的结垢趋势和影响因素。结果表明,在常温下原料卤水中的碳酸钙处于饱和状态,而其中的硫酸钙处于不饱和状态,因此在外部因素诱导下,碳酸钙更容易发生沉淀;降低卤水的pH可以有效抑制碳酸钙结垢;当逐步提高卤水的产水回收率时,纳滤浓水侧卤水中硫酸钙结垢的风险增大,在纳滤精制卤水过程中选择合适的产水回收率可以降低硫酸钙结垢的风险。     

CH4-CaSO4和H2S-Fe2O3反应体系的热力学和动力学研究

The destruction of hydrocarbon in deep carbonate diagenetic environment is one of problems on the formation of oil and gas. Organic-inorganic reactions in the process of TSR(Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction) are the main reason to make disappearance of the hydrocarbons. The work in this field has often been the subject of much research work in recent years. In this paper, the thermodynamics of CH4-CaSO4 and H2S-Fe2O3 systems is discussed to investigate the possibility of reactions. It is found that these two reactions can proceed spontaneously.Increasing temperature is favorite for CH4-CaSO4 system but disfavorite for H2S-Fe2O3 system. Thermal simulation experiments were carried out using autoclave at high temperature and high pressure. The properties of the products were characterized by microcoulometry, FT-IR and XRD methods. On the basis of the experimental data, a reaction kinetic model is developed and kinetic parameters are determined.
