چکیده

Poly(acrylic acid-co-allyl acrylate) statistical copolymers were synthesized in a controlled manner in two steps: first tert.butyl acrylate and allyl acrylate were polymerized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and afterwords the tert.butyl protective groups were removed via hydrolysis. Samples of self cleaning glass (SCG) were coated with thin films of poly(acrylic acid-co-allyl acrylate) and cross-linked afterwards by UV irradiation (in the presence of a photoinitiator and an accelerator). Solution cast thin films were transparent and homogeneous before and after UV cross-linking. The irradiated samples were found to be hydrophilic ( < 20°) and water insoluble. The coating prevented the spontaneous hydrophobization of the SCG by residual silicon exhaled from the sealing material. The TiO2 photocatalyst that covers the glass surface was found to strip the protective coating. The rate of the photooxidation process was measured by IR spectroscopy. The real field performance of the protective coating was also tested.

Effects of molecular structure of acrylates on sizing performance of allyl grafted starch

In order to improve the performance of allyl starch-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylate) sizes, effect of molecular structure of the acrylate monomers grafted onto allyl starch has been studied. A series of acrylates including methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA), butyl acrylate (BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) have been grafted onto allyl starch with the same degree of substitution throug...

Cucurbit[8]uril-based stimuli-responsive films as a sacrificial layer for preparation of free-standing thin films.

A pseudo-polycation was prepared based on the supramolecular cucurbit[8]uril ternary complex. It was then layer-by-layer assembled with poly(acrylic acid) to fabricate a stimuli-responsive film, which exhibited disassembly properties in response to stimuli, providing a supramolecular route for the fabrication of free-standing thin films.

Self-Cleaning Glass of Photocatalytic Anatase TiO2@Carbon Nanotubes Thin Film by Polymer-Assisted Approach

Due to the good photocatalytic activity, the TiO2@CNTs thin film is highly desirable to apply to the self-cleaning glass for green intelligent building. Here, the TiO2@CNTs thin film has been successfully achieved by polymer-assisted approach of an aqueous chemical solution method. The polymer, polyethylenimine, aims to combine the Ti4+ with CNTs for film formation of TiO2@CNTs. The resultant t...

Fabrication of MgF2-SiO2 Nanocomposite Thin Films and Investigation of Their Optical and Hydrophobic Properties

In this research, MgF2-2%SiO2/MgF2 thin films were applied on a glass substrate. At first, MgF2 thin films with the optical thickness were deposited on the glass slide substrates. Then, MgF2-2%SiO2 thin films were deposited on the glass coated with MgF2 thin films. Finally, the nanocomposite thin films were surface treated by the PFTS solution. Characterization of the thin film was done by X-Ra...
