AbstractIn this study, 2-oxopropylmethacrylate-terminated poly(N-vinyl-2- pyrrolidone) is produced by cationic polymerization using HClO4 as an initiator. Termination (end capping) step is accomplished using 2- hydroxypropylmethacrylate (2HPMA) and the polymer product has different chain lengths of molecular weight averages ranging from 672 to 3049 g/mol. The study also synthesised amphipathic graft copolymers having hydrophobic poly(α- methylstyrene) as a backbone chain and hydrophilic poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as side chains of various lengths. The copolymer synthesis was accomplished by free radical copolymerization of ω-oxopropylmethacrylate PVP in the presence of α-methyl styrene initiated with benzoyl peroxide. Measurements of the dynamic viscosity of the polymer solution (20% weight of macromonomers in ethanol) show that the viscosity is proportional to the average molecular weights M̅n . However, a reverse behaviour of the viscosity variation with regard to M̅n is observed for graft copolymer samples. The viscosity variation with respect to the graft copolymer mass must be due to steric effects, which are strongly pronounced in grafted copolymer chains. Appearance of the number of side chains attached to poly(α-methylstyrene) backbone reveals that the grafting reaction has occurred with good efficiency.

Nanocomposite materials based on copolymers of styrene and n-butyl methacrylate with either graphene oxide (GO) or functionalized graphene oxide (F-GO) were synthesized using the in-situ bulk radical copolymerization technique. Reaction kinetics was studied both experimentally and theoretically using a detailed kinetic model also taking into account the effect of diffusion-controlled phenomena on the reaction kinetic rate constants. It was found that the presence of GO results in lower polymerization rates accompanied by the synthesis of copolymers having higher average molecular weights. In contrast, the presence of F-GO did not seem to significantly alter the conversion vs time curves, whereas it results in slightly lower average molecular weights. The first observation was attributed to side reactions of the initiator primary radicals with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of GO, resulting in lower initiator efficiency, whereas the second to grafted structures formed from copolymer macromolecules on the F-GO surface. The copolymerization model predictions including MWD data were found to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. At least four adjustable parameters were employed and their best-fit values were provided.
