Grafting methylacrylate

The simplest technique is to dissolve the polymer in the appropriate solvent add the peroxide initiator, which abstracts a hydrogen radical and generates a radical on the polymer chain and then add fresh monomer for grafting onto this site. This technique has been employed in grafting methylacrylate onto natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene. In this manner, several commercially useful products such as ABS resins have been prepared however, tire elastomers are not made in this manner because of the generation of micro and macro gel particles, which are detrimental to physical properties. In many cases when latex grafting has been used, the product has usually been targeted toward thermoplastic applications rather than rubber applications. 

Two different emulsion polymerization reactions were Investigated. One was the polymerization of acrylonitrile and methylacrylate (75/25 AN/MA) In the presence of an acrylonitrile elastomer (70/30 BD/AN) to produce a graft resin, llie second was the copolymerization oiE acrylonitrile and styrene (70/30 AN/S). Chromatographic analyses of latex solutions were conducted periodically during both types of polymerization reactions, using acetonitrile as latex solvent and chromatographic mobile phase. 

A significant number of works are concerned with the development of new membranes for the separation of mixtures of aromatic/alicyclic hydrocarbons [10,11,77-109]. For example, the following works can be mentioned. A mixture of cellulose ester and polyphosphonate ester (50 wt%) was used for benzene/cyclohexane separation [113]. High values of the separation factor and flux were achieved (up to 2 kg/m h). In order to achieve better fluxes and separation factors the attention was shifted to the modification of polymers by grafting technique. Grafted membranes were made of polyvinylidene fluoride with 4-vinyl pyridine or acrylic acid by irradiation [83]. 2-Hydroxy-3-(diethyl-amino) propyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer membranes with cyanuric chloride were prepared, which exhibited a superior separation factor /3p= 190 for a feed aromatic component concentration of 20 wt%. Graft copolymer membranes based on 2-hydroxyethyl methylacrylate-methylacrylate with thickness 10 pm were prepared [85]. The membranes yielded a flux of 0.7 kg/m h (for feed with 50 wt% of benzene) and excellent selectivity. Benzene concentration in permeate was about 100 wt%. A membrane based on polyvinyl alcohol and polyallyl amine was prepared [87]. For a feed containing 10 wt% of benzene the blend membrane yielded a flux of 1-3 kg/m h and a separation factor of 62.

Different types of chemical initiators such as FAS-KPS, benzoyl peroxide, azo-bis-iso-butylnitrile, H O, ascorbic acid-KPS, ammonium persulphate, ceric ammonium persulphate, ceric ammonium nitrate, etc., can be used for the graft copolymerization of various vinyl monomers such as methylacrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, ethyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, acrylamide, etc., onto polysaccharides [38-40]. Figure 2.1 shows the proposed mechanism through which the grafting can be explained [39].

The graft copolymer products, poly(met)acrylates branched to polyester-suUbnes, can be produced next way [200]. Firstly, the polyestersulfone is being chlormethylenized by monochlordimethyl ester. The product is used as macrostarter for the graft radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate (I), methylacrylate (II) and butylacrylate (III) in dimethylformamide according to the mechanism of transferring of atoms under die influence of the catalytical system FeCyisophthalic acid. The branched copolymer with I has only one glassing temperature while copolymer with II and III has three. 

Even when PPS has superior chemical resistance and heat stability, its brittleness may be a drawback for certain applications. The physical properties of PPS can be improved by the addition of small amounts of terpolymers of ethylene, methylacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate, also in a grafted variant with poly(methyl methacrylate) [59]. The manufacture of the composition occurs by melt mixing under a high shear rate.
