In this research thin film heterogeneous cation exchange membrane was prepared by interfacial polymerization of polyacrylic acid-co-iron nickel oxide nanoparticle son PVC based substrate. Spectra analysis confirmed graft polymerization conclusively. The SEM images showed that polymerized layer covers the membranes by simple gel network entanglement. Results exhibited that membrane water content...

a mixture  of  sodium  lauryl  sulfate  (sls)  as  ionic  emulsifer  and  stearyl alcohol as non-ionic emulsifer was employed in a vinyl chloride emulsion polymerization  reaction  to  study  the  infuence  of  various  interactive parameters involved in the reaction system. it was found that the particle size was dependent on the amount and type of emulsifer. the average particle size of polyv...

The kinetics of acrylic acid (AA) solution polymerization was investigated by polymerizing 30 wt % aqueous AA solutions at pH values ranging from 2.2 to 9.9. The polymerization rate was determined with differential photocalorimetry and was found to be a strong function of the solution pH and the ionic strength. Although the polymerization rate decreased with increasing pH below pH 6.5, an incre...

During past few years, ionic liquids have kept attracting much attention as “green and designer” media for chemical reactions. Room-temperature ionic liquids have emerged as a potential replacement for organic solvents in catalytic processes on both laboratory and industrial scales (Holbrey & Seddon, 1999b). Literature reports on a wide range of reactions including advances in alkylation reacti...

This paper describes the controlled radical polymerization of an ionic-liquid monomer by RAFT polymerization. This allows the control over the molecular weight of ionic liquid blocks in the range of 8000 and 22000 and of the block-copolymer synthesis. In this work we focus on block copolymers with an anchor block. They can be used to control the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles, which are functi...
