Abstract:The graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) monomer onto polyethylene-coated polypropylene (PE-co-PP) nonwoven fabric was carried out by the mutual irradiation method. The general peculiarities of the grafting have been studied by gravimetric, scanning electron microscope (SEM), mechanical properties, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) methods. The influence of absorbed dose, dose rate, as well as the monomer concentration on the degree of grafting has been determined. Metal ions uptake of Cu 2þ , Co 2þ … Show more
“…Characteristic absorption peak of CMC and GA appeared at 3500 cm -1 for the hydroxyl groups (Silverstein and Webster 1998;Senna et al 2001). In the spectrum of unirradiated spectra there are bands at 2915, 1463 and 719 cm -1 , responsible for deformed vibration of CHgroups (Ibrahim et al 2006) as shown in these figures. In these figures there was new bands around 1700 cm -1 due to C=O absorption characteristic of COOH group of 100% CMC and 80% CMC in the unirradiated and irradiated spectra.…”
Polymer blends based on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and gum arabic (GA) were prepared by solution casting method. Glycerol was added to the polymer blend solution as a plasticizer with different ratios (2⋅5, 5, 10 and 20%). Then, the plasticized blends were exposed to gamma irradiation at different doses (5, 10 and 20 kGy). The physical properties of the plasticized polymer blends were investigated in terms of gel fraction (%) and swelling percent (%). Thermal properties were investigated by TGA. Also, the structure of the plasticized polymer blends was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscope was investigated in order to examine the compatibility between two polymers in the blend and also between polymer blend and plasticizer. The prepared plasticized polymer blends were used as an adsorbent for different dyestuffs. The sorption of dyestuffs by the plasticized polymer blend was determined by a method based on spectroscopic analysis. The results showed that the plasticized polymer blend has a high affinity for basic, acid, reactive and direct dyes. The obtained results showed that using glycerol as plasticizer improved the swellability of polymer blend and also the dye uptake (%).

“…The results observed are given in Figure 6. In the spectrum of unmodified fabrics there are bands at 2915, 1463, and 719 cm −1 , responsible for deformation vibrations of CH‐ groups9 as shown in Figure 6(a). Figure 6(b) shows IR spectrum of modified fabric in which there was new bands around 1700 cm −1 due to CO absorption characteristic of the COOH group.…”

Nowadays, radiation grafting polymer adsorbents have been widely developed due to their advantages, such as low operating cost, high efficiency. In this research, glycidyl methacrylate monomers by simultaneous irradiation of gamma-ray with a dose of 20 kGy were grafted on polypropylene polymer fibers. The grafted polymer was then modified using different amino groups and tested for adsorption of cobalt ions in an aqueous solution. Finally, modified polymer adsorbent with the high efficiency for cobalt ions adsorption was synthesized and tested for further investigation. Different modes of cobalt ions adsorption were tested in other adsorption conditions, including adsorption contact time, pH, different amounts of adsorbent mass, and different concentrations of cobalt ions solution. The adsorbent structure was characterized with FT-IR, and SEM techniques and illustrated having an efficient grafting percentage and adsorption capability for cobalt removing by batch experiments. The optimum conditions were obtained by a central composite design as follows: adsorbent mass = 0.07 g, initial concentration = 40 mg/L, time = 182 min, and pH = 4.5 with ethylenediamine as a modified monomer and high amination percentage. The features such as inexpensive adsorbent, easy to prepare, high efficiency, and stability allow the radiated-induced grafted adsorbent to constitute one of promising materials for heavy metals remediation.
