Graft copolymer Terms Links

This graft copolymer would be termed poly(A-g-B), as the backbone repeat unit is listed first. Note that few molecules is key here, since if even as little as 0.1% of the reaction mixture contains monomers with functionalities of 3 or higher, a network or cross-linked structure is likely to form (particularly at higher reaction conversions). 

The term ABS was originally used as a general term to describe various blends and copolymers containing acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Prominent among the earliest materials were physical blends of acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers (SAN) (which are glassy) and acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers (which are rubbery). Such materials are now obsolete but are referred to briefly below, as Type 1 materials, since they do illustrate some basic principles. Today the term ABS usually refers to a product consisting of discrete cross-linked polybutadiene rubber particles that are grafted with SAN and embedded in a SAN matrix. 

New types of metal-containing polymers can be effectively produced 1 construction of polymer supports in the form of gels which, in use, are capable of swelling, insoluble in the reaction medium, but permeable to the molecules, substrate and solvent (23-25). they are based on ethylene-prcpylene rubbers and also ternary copolymers of ethylene, propylene and nonconjugated diene, siloxane rubbers with the radically grafted vinylpyridine, acrylic acid (AAc), methylmethacrylate (MMA), etc. Fu2 her cross-linking of the rubber base allows the syntheses of three-dimensional networks to avoid the dispersion of these particles in the reaction media. MX is bound within these networks. Such polymers were termed mosaic their structure is shown in Fig. 2. It is evident...
