In the present work, radiation induced grafting of viscose rayon fabrics, consisting mainly of cellulose fibers, with acrylic acid monomer has been carried out. The grafting yields have been thoroughly studied as a function of different applied experimental parameters. The impact of the graft yield on the physical properties of the fabrics such as tensile strength, elongation, swelling, moisture absorption, crease recovery angle and also the dyeing properties of the fabrics has been studied. The effect of increasing the contact time of the fabric and monomer solution, at room temperature, after stopping irradiation has been studied in detail as well as the effect of temperature on the irradiated samples also after stopping irradiation. The best grafting yield was obtained on irradiating viscose rayon fabric in methanol-water solvent containing acrylic acid monomer, at a dose 20 kGys, then heating for 7 hours at 80℃ and finally keeping the samples at room temperature for about 20 hours. That treatment significantly increased the final graft yield.展开更多

Three differentcarbonyl-bond orientations of side-groups resulted in the differences in depth of potentialwells in their energetic contours for a meso or a racemic dyad. These discrepancies areinterpreted as a result of various fine structures corresponding to grid search conformationsas well as thereby different interactions. The analysis on the most stable conformationsof PMAA confirmed that the ester groups are nearly perpendicular to the plane definedby the two adjacent skeletal bonds but may possibly change their relative orientations tomeet the requirement of lower energy during the conformational state transition. For eachpolyme, two global energy maps of a meso and a racemic dyad were finally constructedfrom the superposition of energy data for the three kinds of side-group orientations by theBoltzmann factors. From an ensemble average, the proposed scheme with three rotationalisomeric states (RIS) allowed us to access the experimentally unperturbed dimensions ofPAA chain via the configurational statistical mechanics. Although the calculation wasbased on the short-range, local interactions, it was interested to note that the experimentalcharacteristic ratios just fell within the range calculated for atactic chains.展开更多

Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.展开更多

文摘Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) film was graftpolymerized with acrylic acid(AAc) via a low-temperature plasma technique.The effect of plasma treatment parameters(radio-frequency power and treatment time) on the spin number of free radicals in PTFE film was examined.Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR)spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and atomic force microscopy were employed to characterize the chemical structure,surface composition,and microstructure of the original PTFE and PTFE-g-PAAc films,respectively,in order to verify the successful graft polymerization of AAc onto a PTFE film surface.Thermogravimetric analysis illustrated that the thermal stability of bulk PTFE film remains unchanged after graft modification.Water contact angle measurements confirmed that the hydrophilicity of PTFE-g-PAAc film was effectively improved as compared to the original PTFE film.The dielectric constant(ε_r) of PTFE-g-PAAc(GD =218 μg/cm^2) film remained invariable,compared to that of the unmodified PTFE film.Nevertheless,the dielectric loss(tanδ) of PTFE film increased considerably,from 0.0002(GD = 0μg/cm^2) to 0.0073(GD = 218 μg/cm^2),which might be due to the increase in surface polarity and moisture resulting from AAc graft modification.In addition,the surface electrical resistance(R_s) of PTFE film decreased slightly,from 131.89(GD = 0 μg/cm^2) to 110.28 Ω cm^2(GD = 218μg/cm^2) after surface modification,but still retained its inherent high impedance.
文摘Alkaline earth metal (Mg,Ca,Sr and Ba)-doped Mo-V-Sb-O x catalysts,prepared by a dry-up method,have been investigated for their catalytic performance in the oxidation of propane under different reaction conditions.The catalysts have been characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption,temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of NH3,SEM and XRD.Influence of water vapor on the catalytic performance,particularly on the selectivities to acetic acid and acrylic acid,has also been studied.The selectivity to acrylic acid was improved significantly by the doping of alkaline earth metals to Mo-V-Sb-O x catalysts.The surface acidic sites of the catalyst decreased with the doping of the catalyst with alkaline earth metals,which ultimately was found to be beneficial for obtaining high selectivity to acrylic acid.The catalytic activity and product selectivities were found to be influenced by the reaction temperature,C3H8/O2 ratio and space velocity.A significant improvement in the selectivity to acrylic acid has also been observed by the addition of water vapor in the feed of propane and oxygen in the oxidation of propane.
文摘The polytetrafluoroethylene fiber grafted acrylic acid was used as a cation exchanger. The exchange capacity of the cation fiber is 3.06 mmol/g. The maximum Cu2+ adsorption capacity is 107.48 mg/g. It could be desorbed completely by 1mol/L HCl.

文摘Surface modification on a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)panel was performedwith sequential nitrogen plasma treatments and surface-initiated polymerization.By introducingCOO— groups to the surface of the PTFE panel through grafting polymerization of acrylic acid(AA),a transparent poly (acrylic acid)(PAA)membrane was achieved from acrylic acid solution.Grafting polymerization initiating from the active groups was achieved on the PTFE panel surfaceafter the nitrogen plasma treatment.Utilizing the acrylic acid as monomers,with COO— groupsas cross link sites to form reticulation structure,a transparent poly (acrylic acid)membrane witharborescent macromolecular structure was formed on the PTFE panel surface.Analysis methods,such as fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),microscopy and X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS),were utilized to characterize the structures of the macromolecule membraneon the PTFE panel surface.A contact angle measurement was performed to characterize themodified PTFE panels.The surface hydrophilicities of modified PTFE panels were significantlyenhanced after the plasma treatment.It was shown that the grafting rate is related to the treatingtime and the power of plasma.

文摘Monodisperse poly(poly(ethyleneglycol) methyl ether acrylate-co-acrylic acid) (poly(PEGMA-co-AA)) microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization with divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker with 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in neat acetonitrile without stirring. Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.
