Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate and Vinyltriethoxysilane onto Natural Rubber
Abstract:Preparation and characterization of natural rubber grafted with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and vinytriethoxysilane (VTES) were performed in the present work. Graft copolymerization of methyl methacryate was carried out in latex stage, and VTES was added during the graft copolymerization of MMA. FTIR and NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the structure of graft copolymer and determination of conversion and grafting efficiency of MMA. It confirmed that the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and silica partic… Show more
