Homopolymers sulfone

Homopolymers and copolymers from amido-sulfonic acid or salt containing monomers can be prepared by reactive extrusion, preferably in a twin screw extruder [1660]. The process produces a solid polymer. Copolymers of acrylamide, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, and sodium-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane sulfonate have been proposed to be active as fluid loss agents. Another component of the formulations is the sodium salt of naphthalene formaldehyde sulfonate [207]. The fluid loss additive is mixed with hydraulic cements in suitable amounts. 

Conventional polymer and phosphonate scale inhibitors may not be appropriate for application in high-pressure and high-temperature reservoirs. Only a limited range of commercially available oil field scale inhibitor chemicals are sufficiently thermally stable at temperatures above 150° C. These chemicals are homopolymers of vinyl sulfonate and copolymers of acrylic acid... 

Sulfonated poly(4-substituted benzoyl-1,4-phenylene) homopolymers and copolymers using concentrated sulfuric acid or fuming sulfuric acid have been shown to form sulfonated polymers with variable degrees of sulfonation. To improve film formation of the sulfonated polyphenylenes, multiblock copolymers have been synthesized by reacting a more flexible poly(arylene ether sulfone) with sulfonated poly-phenylenes. ... 

In the polymer prepared at -78°, the R value is nearly one and so almost the only sequence present is SMS. This enables this assignment to be made with confidence. The homopolymer type sequence, —MMM—, can be assigned by reference to the paper of Coleman, et a. ( ) on polychloroprene, to which we have already made reference. The sequences MMS and SMM can be assigned as shown by appealing to chemical shift rules similar to those we have already discussed for polystyrene sulfone ... 

PMA homopolymer is also available as a neutralized salt and in several grades, often with precise molecular weight distributions, for special applications such as antiscalent duty in seawater distillation and sugar evaporator processes. Maleic anhydride chemistry has also been successfully developed to provide functional components in copolymers [examples are acrylic acid, maleic anhydride (AA/MA) and sulfonated styrene, maleic anhydride (SS/MA)] and terpolymers [example is maleic anhydride, ethyl acrylate, vinyl acrylate (MA/EA/VA)].

Chlorinated, sulfonated, chlorosulfonated or epoxidized polymers, homopolymers and copolymers of functionalized monomers, e.g. poly(methacryl aldehyde), poly(2,3-epoxypropyl acrylate), poly(4-vinylphenol), poly(propylene-co-10-unde-cene-l-ol), poly(butadiene-co-methacryl aldehyde), poly(butadiene-co-acrylic acid), poly(ethylene-co-alkyl acrylate), poly(alkyl acrylate-co-2,3-epoxypropyl acrylate), poly(alkyl acrylate-co-maleic anhydride), poly(styrene-co-4-vinylbenzyl chloride)... 

Both electrochemical and chemical oxidation have been used to produce 3-substituted alkylsulfonated pyrroles [106]. Electrochemical polymerisation was achieved using acetonitrile as solvent to form a solid deposit on the electrode. Alternatively, FeCl3 was used as oxidant. Conductivities in the range 0.001-0.500 S cm were obtained, with lower conductivity products obtained from chemical polymerisation. Others [107,108] have prepared homopolymers and copolymers of polypyrroles with alkyl sulfonate groups attached via the N-group. This N-group substitution decreases the polymers inherent conductivity. 

Homopolymers or copolymers each unit of which is ionizable examples of this type being polyacrylic acid or copolymers of acrylic acid with styrene sulfonic acid. Here again partial or complete ionization is possible. 

A similar study was undertaken by Beck Tan et al. on the adhesion between poly(styrene-r-sulfonated styrene) and poly(2-vinylpyridine). In this case, however, the variable was the mole fraction of sulfonated styrene in the random copolymer [95]. The results of the maximum fracture toughness Qc vs. mole fraction of functional groups are plotted in Fig. 51. The reinforcement shows a very sharp maximum with degree of functionalization consistent with the multiple stitching giving rise to short loops poorly entangled with the homopolymer however, in this case as well, the bulk properties of PS are modified by the presence of the styrenesulfonic acid and this could contribute to the decrease in Qc at high levels of functionalization. 

Polyacrylic acid (PAA)—P2VP mixed brushes were prepared by a similar synthetic procedure, by grafting of carboxyl-terminated poly(ferf-butyl acrylate) (PtBuA) and P2VP. Afterwards, PtBuA was hydrolyzed in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid. The same strategy was employed to graft mixed PEL brushes on polymer surfaces. In this case plasma treatment was used to functionalize surface of polymer substrates. We introduced amino groups on the surface of PA-6 and PTFE by treatment of the polymer samples with NH3 plasma. Then the carboxyl terminated homopolymers were grafted step by step from the melt to the solid substrate via amide bonds.

Insoluble polyelectrolyte complex may be formed when dissolved acidic and basic polyelectrolyte polymers are brought into intimate contact (131). Complex formation is generally agreed to be driven by the increase in entropy associated with the loss of small counterions into the bulk of the solution (132). Polyelectrolyte complex from concentrated solutions of strongly acidic and basic homopolymers has been shown to form sufficiently rapidly to produce a 20-30 nm thick membrane at the solution interface, as was found through reaction of dissolved poly(vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride) with sodium poly (styrene sulfonate) (132).
