Poly Acrylamide

Sodium acrylate (NaAA) and acrylamide (AM) were grafted onto poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using potassium persulfate as an initiator, Graft copolymerization namely poly (vinyl alcohol)-g-poly (acrylamide/sodium acrylate) (PVA-g-PAM/SAC). The poly (vinyl alcohol)-g-poly (vinylamine/sodium acrylate) (PVAMC) was prepraed by Hofmann rearrangement.The PVAMC homogeneous membrane was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The water resistance of the PVAMC membranes is the best when pH of the PVAMC solutions was 4, at that time the numbers of-NH3+ and-COO- groups trended to be equal, so the isoelectric point was pH=4. At 90 °C the pervaporation of PVAMC composite membrane was tested and showed that the separation factor and the permeate flux were about 1001 and 1341 g/(m2·h) for 90wt% ethanol aqueous solution, and they were about 1297 and 1040 g/(m2·h) for 90wt% isopropanol aqueous solution.

Poly Acrylamide

An amphiphilic graft copolymer with poly(acrylamide-methacrylate) as a main chain and octylphenyl polyoxyethylene as side chains (P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10) was successfully synthesized via free radical copolymerization. The structure and the composition of the graft copolymer were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis (EA) in detail. The absolute molecular weight of the copolymer is 1.304×106, as determined by static light scattering (SLS). The molar ratio of acrylamide monomer to the macromonomer is 33:1 in the copolymer and 53 C8PhEO10 branch chains attach to a P(AM-MA) backbone. The micellar behavior of P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10 was preliminarily studied by means of surface tension measurements, transmission electron microscope (TEM) in aqueous solution. It was found that the stable spherical micelles with core-shell structure are formed and polymolecular micelles are larger and more compact than monomolecular micelles. In addition, the graft copolymer has favorable thermal stability.
