Poly (Ethylene Glycol-Co-Styrene) Films Deposited by Plasma Polymerization Reactions at Atmospheric Pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atmospheric pressure plasma co-polymerization of ethylene glycol and styrene was applied to produce poly (ethylene glycol-co-styrene) using a dielectric barrier discharge. The chemical structure of polymerized films was studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy which confirms that we obtained copolymerized films with hydroxyl groups incorporated. Chemical composition of films was studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and oxygen containing groups (C-O and C=O) were identified. Topography of polymer films was revealed using Atomic Force Microscopy technique and the film root mean square roughness (Rrms) was found to be 1.6 nm. Surface wettability was analyzed using water contact angle technique.

Ionomers containing sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (4SS) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGA) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymerization was mediated by 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate chain transfer agent in a dimethylformamide/water solvent system. Well-defined copolymers of pPEGA-co-4SS were produced with molecula...
متن کاملCobalt nanoparticle Langmuir-Schaefer films on ethylene glycol subphase.
The Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) technique was applied to prepare two-dimensional films of tridodecylamine (TDA)-stabilized Co nanoparticles. Ethylene glycol was used as the subphase because the Co nanoparticles spread better on it than on water. Surface pressure-area isotherms provided very little information on the floating films, and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) was needed to characterize the f...

Pellethane 2363 80A films and tubings were chemically modified and the effect of these modifications on platelet deposition was studied. Grafting of high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) and graft polymerization of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) 400 methacrylate resulted in surfaces with a good water wettability. The increased hydrophilicity of these modified surfaces could be demonstrated ...

High solids content film-forming poly[styrene-co-(n-butyl acrylate)] [poly(Sty-co-BuA)] latexes armored with Laponite clay platelets have been synthesized by soap-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and n-butyl acrylate. The polymerizations were performed in batch in the presence of Laponite and a methyl ether acrylate-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) macromonomer in order to promote poly...

A novel hydrophilic macromer adapted for chemical grafting has been synthesized. It consists of methyl-end-capped poly(ethylene glycol) functionalized with a urethane terminus. Dispersion polymerization of styrene in an alcohol/water medium in the presence of the macromer allows chemical grafting of the macromer to the surfaces of the developing polystyrene (PS) latex particles. Scanning and tr...
