Abstract:

Grafting polymerization was a valuable method for the modification of the chemical and physical properties of polymer surfaces. In this paper, the grafting of cationic vinyl monomer with quaternary ammonium groups, methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC), onto the isotactic polypropylene (iPP) granule was performed by suspension solid-state grafting process. The technique offers new opportunities in modification of polyolefins, which had the advantages of solventless, lower process temperature. The grafted PP was systematically characterized by using various analytic tools including FT-IR, DSC and TGA. The FT-IR spectra of the grafted iPP confirmed that DMC was successfully grafted onto the iPP backbone. The influences of the reaction parameters such as the concentration of DMC, the dose of styrene, initiator concentration, swelling time, reaction time, reaction temperature were investigated. The optimum condition for the grafting of DMC onto the iPP granules was obtained within the range studied. Furthermore, the results of TGA and the hydrophilicity measurement indicated that the thermal stability of the grafted iPP was enhanced remarkably, and the hydrophilicity was also enhanced due to the addition of hydrophilic quaternary ammonium groups. This research is worthwhile and it can be foreseen with a great prospect in the developing of anti-static and antiseptic materials.

Adsorption of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds onto Activated Sludge

The performance of activated sludge in the removal of tetradecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (C14BDMA) by adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated with different PH, contact time, ionic strength and temperature. Equilibrium was achieved within 2 h of contact time. The adsorption capacity increased largely with increasing solution pH and remained constant above pH 9. The ionic str...

Grafting of Industrial Cellulose Pulp with Vinyl acetate Monomer by Ceric Ion Redox System as Initiator

The Ce/ Ce redox system was studied to initiate the grafting of idustrial cellulose pulp with vinyl acetate monomer. The parameters of the copolymerization reaction (reaction time, temperature, monomer and initiator contentration, freeness, chemical composition of the cellulose) were investigated and their effects are discussed.

Relative Reactivities in Vinyl Copolymerization

Synopsis. From data in the literature on relatine rates of copolymerization it has been possible to evaluute two constants, Q and e , cheracteristic of a n individual monomer, which appear to account satisfactorily .for its behavior in copolymerization. The constant Q describes the “general monomer reactivity” and is apparently related to possibilities for stabilization in a radical adduct. The...

Grafting Vinyl Monomers onto Chitosan:IV:Graft Copolymerized of Acrylicacid onto Chitosan Using Ceric Ammonium Nitrate as the Initiator— Characterization and Antimicrobial Activities

Acrylicacid was grafted onto chitosan by using the ceric ammonium nitrate as the initiator. The effect of initiator concentration, monomer concentration, time & temperature on % G and % GE were studied. The grafted samples were characterized using FTIR, TGA, SEM and XRD methods. From the FTIR data it was ascertained that grafting has occurred considerably. The morphology of the grafted polymer ...
