腈纶皂化制备电流变液悬浮粒子的研究

为了制备无水电流变液用悬浮粒子,研究了腈纶在碱性条件下的多相水解。详细考察了皂化试剂氢氧化钾的用量,皂化时间和温度等皂化条件对皂化程度的影响;讨论了氰基转化过程。研究结果表明,在皂化初期,腈纶分子链上的氰基转化为酰胺基,然后缓慢转化为羧基。给出了一条制备无水电流变液用悬浮粒子的方法,并初步考察了该类电流变液的控光特性。

Studies on Saponification of Acrylonitrile Terpolymer for Suspending Particles of Electrorheological Fluids

In order to prepare suspending particles for electrorheological fluids, hetergeneous hydrolysis of acrylonitrile terpolymer is conducted in presence of saponifying agent(sodium hydroxide) in this paper. The effects of the saponification conditions such as the amount of added sodium hydroxide, time duration and temperature on the degree of saponification are studied in detail. Meanwhile, the conversion of nitrile groups is discussed with the result that the saponification of nitrile groups of the terpolymer initially yields amide groups, then slows down to carboxylic groups. The research sets a way for the preparation of dispersing particles of water-free electrorheological fluids tentatively used for controlling light transmittance.
