SYNOPSISPolymerization of acrylamide was carried out with cerium( IV) -EDTA redox initiator system with and without electrolysis. The effect of temperature, time, cerium( IV), and EDTA concentrations on the polymerization yield and molecular weight were studied and compared with electrolytic conditions. At low concentrations of cerium( IV ) the electrolytic method continuously supplying Ce ( IV ) from Ce (111) has an advantage over the nonelectrolytic method for which polymerization did not occur under these conditions. A possible polymerization mechanism is suggested.
SYNOPSISAcrylamide polymerization by Ce ( IV) -polyaminocarboxylic acids, i.e., EDTA, DTPA, EGTA, and NTA, which have strong chelating properties, have been studied at different
Ce(IV) salt‐malonic acid or citric acid initiator systems were used for the polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of electrolysis. This allowed Ce(III) to be converted to Ce(IV) during polymerization. Graphite, silver, chromium/nickel, lead, platinum and stainless‐steel electrodes were used. The highest polymerization yield was obtained with a stainless‐steel electrode.
Acrylamide and acrylonitrile were polymerized with water-soluble organic reducing compounds containing hydroxy groups such as methyl cellulose (MC), methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC) and poly(ethy1ene glyco1)s (PEG) in the presence of Ce(IV) in order to produce graft/block copolymers. The effect of cerium(1V) concentration, temperature, time and monomer concentration on the yield was studied. Copolymers of cellulose derivatives and polyacrylonitrile showed solubility properties similar to polyacrylonitrile. Both cellulose derivative-polyacrylamide and poly(ethy1ene glycol)polyacrylamide copolymers were soluble in water.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Acrylamid und Acrylnitril wurden in Gegenwart von Ce(V1)-Ionen und wasserloslichen organischen, reduzierenden, Hydroxygruppen enthaltenden Verbindungen wie Methylcellulose (MC), Methylhydroxypropylcellulose (MHPC) und Poly(ethyleng1y-ko1)en (PEG) zu Block-und Pfropfcopolymeren polymerisiert. Der Einflun der Ce(V1)-und Monomerkonzentration sowie der Polymerisationstemperatur und -zeit auf die Polymerisationsausbeute wurde untersucht. Die Copolymeren aus Cellulosederivaten und Polyacrylnitril zeigen ahnliche Losungseigenschaften wie Acrylnitrilhomopolymere. Sowohl die Cellulose/Polyacrylamidals auch die Poly(ethylenglykol)/Polyacrylamid-Copolymeren sind wasserloslich. 0 1994 Huthig & Wepf Verlag, Base1 CCC 0003-3146/94/$05.00
SYNOPSISPolymerization of acrylamide was carried out with potassium permanganate-malonic acid, potassium permanganate-tartaric acid, and potassium permanganate-citric acid redox initiator systems with and without electrolysis. The effect of potassium permanganate concentration, acrylamide concentration, and temperature on the polymerization yield was studied and molecular weights of polymers were determined and compared with electrolytic conditions. At low concentrations of potassium permanganate, continuously supplying Mn( 111) has an advantage over the nonelectrolytic method for which polymerization did not occur under these conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
