Synthesis of poly(4-methylstyrene)- graft-poly(ethylene oxide)s and application as polymeric dispersant in coal-water mixture

Poly(4-methylstyrene)-graft-poly(ethylene oxide)s were prepared via polymerisation of ethylene oxide on to poly(4-methylstyrene)s functionalised with hydroxyl groups. In this way, many ‘comb-like’ polymers having different hydrophobic backbone length, hydrophilic branch length and frequency of branches were synthesised. These polymers were tested as dispersants in coal-water mixtures in order to correlate the dispersing properties of this class of polymers with the investigated parameters.     

HEC-AM接枝聚合物溶液性能的研究

采用氧化还原体系合成羟乙基纤维素-丙烯酰胺( HEC-AM)接枝聚合物,利用旋转黏度计对接枝聚合物溶液的增黏性、耐热性、耐盐性等进行测定.结果表明:在所测试的聚合物质量分数(W)范围内,HEC-AM的增黏性要高于纯的聚丙烯酰胺( PAM);当W( HEC-AM)大于0.8％后,HEC-AM的黏度增长迅速.在同一温度下,HEC-AM溶液黏度均较PAM溶液高,当温度升至80℃时,HEC-AM的黏度保留率为54.4％,PAM的为28％;在80℃下老化5d后,HEC-AM的黏度保留率为53.3％,PAM为22.7％,HEC-AM比PAM具有更好的耐热性和热稳定性.盐溶液的质量浓度提高,HEC-AM和PAM的黏度均降低,但HEC-AM的耐盐性较PAM好;并且在较高温度下,HEC-AM表现出较好的耐盐性.
