A viscometric study was carried out at 25°C to assess the physical-chemical behavior in solution and the mean viscometric molar mass (M¯v) of chitosan solutions with different deacetylation degrees, in two solvent mixtures: medium 1-acetic acid 0.3mol/L and sodium acetate 0.2mol/L; and medium 2-acetic acid 0.1mol/L and sodium chloride 0.2mol/L. Different equations were employed, by graphical extrapolation, to calculate the intrinsic viscosities [η] and the viscometric constants, to reveal the solvent's quality: Huggins (H), Kraemer (K) and Schulz-Blaschke (SB). For single-point determination, the equations used were SB, Solomon-Ciuta (SC) and Deb-Chanterjee (DC), resulting in a faster form of analysis. The values of ̄M¯v were calculated by applying the equation of Mark-Houwink-Sakurada. The SB and SC equations were most suitable for single-point determination of [η] and ̄M¯v and the Schulz-Blachke constant (kSB), equal to 0.28, already utilized for various systems, can also be employed to analyze chitosan solutions under the conditions studied.
Resumo: Neste trabalho, foram sintetizados materiais binários baseados em copolímeros de metacrilato de metila reticulados com divinilbenzeno contendo partículas de ferro com propriedades magnéticas pela técnica de polimerização em suspensão. Foram estudados os efeitos da concentração de ferro adicionado na polimerização, da razão molar MMA/DVB, do tipo de agente de suspensão e da velocidade de agitação na formação do copolímero. Os copolímeros foram caracterizados quanto à morfologia, à estabilidade térmica, ao teor de ferro incorporado, à distribuição de tamanho de partículas, às propriedades magnéticas, à área superficial, ao volume e ao tamanho de poros. Foram obtidas microesferas poliméricas com propriedades magnéticas que apresentaram bom controle morfológico esférico e partículas de ferro aglomeradas por toda a superfície da microesfera. As análises de propriedades magnéticas mostraram que os materiais obtidos não apresentaram ciclos de histerese, estando assim próximos de um material com propriedades superparamagnéticas, com magnetização de saturação entre 8,0 e 13,0 emu.g -1 . Palavras-chave: Copolímero de metacrilato de metila e divinilbenzeno, propriedades magnéticas, ferro. Synthesis and Characterization of Copolymers Based on Methyl Methacrylate and Divinylbenzene with Magnetic PropertiesAbstract: In this work, copolymers based on methyl methacrylate and divinylbenzene containing iron with magnetic properties were produced using the suspension polymerization method. An investigation was performed of the effect from the concentration of iron added to the polymerization, the MMA/DVB molar ratio in the copolymer formation, type of suspension agent and stirring speed on the synthesis of the copolymers. The copolymers morphology, thermal stability, contents of embedded iron, particle size distribution, magnetic properties, surface area, volume and pore size were evaluated. Polymeric microspheres with magnetic properties were successfully obtained. These materials showed good control of the spherical shape and agglomeration of iron particles under the surface of the microsphere. The analysis of magnetic properties pointed to materials with no hysteresis loops, thus being close to a material with superparamagnetic properties with saturation magnetization between 8.0 and 13.0 emu.g -1 . Keywords: Copolymer of methyl methacrylate and divinylbenzene, magnetic properties, iron. IntroduçãoEsferas de polímeros magnéticas são compostas por nano ou micropartículas magnéticas incorporadas em uma matriz polimérica. O tamanho das esferas pode variar de centenas de nanômetros a alguns milímetros. De acordo com o método de preparo, diferentes tipos de esferas podem ser obtidas. Em um tipo as partículas magnéticas são homogeneamente distribuídas no volume da matriz polimérica. Em outros, são formadas estruturas do tipo casca e núcleo (polímero -núcleo e material magnético -casca) ou (material magnético -núcleo e polímero -casca). As propriedades magnéticas das esferas poliméricas são determinadas pelas partículas magnét...
