Hemiesters and hemiamides of maleic and succinic acid: synthesis and application of surfactants in emulsion polymerization with styrene and butyl acr…
1999
Hemiesters and hemiamides of maleic acid with different chain lengths of the hydrophobic alkyl group (R = C8H17, C10H21, C12H25, C16H33) have been synthesized and used as surfactants in the emulsion polymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate. The same polymerization experiments were also carried out using nonreactive surfactants with an analogous succinic structure. The chemical structure of the surfactants was confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. The melting point and critical micelle concentration of the reactive surfactants described herein were measured. All of the surfactants studied provided good stability of styrene/butyl acrylate latexes, when compared with a reference late…
Films from styrene–butyl acrylate lattices using maleic or succinic surfactants: mechanical properties, water rebound and grafting of the surfactants
2000
Abstract A series of anionic and zwitterionic maleic surfactants have been synthesized and engaged in styrene–butyl acrylate emulsion polymerization. Some non-reactive succinic analogs have been synthesized in order to perform their comparison with the maleic surfactants in polymerization experiments. Films from the obtained lattices were cast, and their mechanical properties and the water rebound were tested. The results of water rebound demonstrate significant difference between the films prepared with maleic or succinic surfactants. Water rebound of the films after 34 days in the case of succinic surfactants was found to be between 51 and 95%, while for maleic surfactants it is only 25–4…
Nonionic Maleic Surfmers
2002
ABSTRACT A set of nonionic maleic surfactants have been prepared, all coming from the derivatization of maleic hemiesters with a long alkyl chain. They are either amidoesters or diester products. In the case of amidoesters, the acid group was first activated and then reacted with primary or secondary or tertiary ethanolamine compounds. In the case of diesters, the hemiester was reacted directly with glycidol, in acid or basic conditions. These surfactants were characterized for their structure by 1H NMR, and for their surface active properties, by surface tension measurements. They were also used in batch emulsion polymerisation of styrene, and seeded core-shell copolymerisation of a 1/1 mi…
Synthesis of Polymer Colloids Using Polymerizable Surfactants
2001
A series of new anionic surfactants were prepared by reacting a polymerizable alcohol with either maleic or succinic anhydride, as well as sulfosuccinic anhydride, resulting in either bireactive or monoreactive surfactants, either carboxylated or sulfonated. The synthesis presented and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) determined. These compounds were engaged in the emulsion polymerization of styrene in batch and also in semi-batch seeded copolymerization producing core-shell latexes. The core was a polystyrene seed prepared using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), thoroughly purified through ion exchange resins. The seed was then swollen overnight with a small amount of a 1 : 1 mixture o…
Reactions of Maleisomides with Alcohols
2004
Abstract New surfactants (surfmers) with various amide and ester groups next to C˭C double bonds have been obtained. Maleic acid amidesters (AE) with different hydrophobic groups at the nitrogen atom and hydrophilic substituents at oxygen atoms were synthesized starting with maleic isoimides. 1H KMR and IR spectra were used for their characterization. Some were further characterized for their critical micellar concentration (CMC). A few cationic and zwitterionic surfmers were also prepared from isoimide precursors and characterized. All these surfmers were applied in batch emulsion polymerization of styrene, and in core‐shell seeded copolymerization of styrene and butylacrylate to give late…
