Preparation of graft copolymers with cerium ions (IV)
Abstract
In this work, water-soluble copolymers based on methyl cellulose (MC) and acrylic acid (AA) with the use of a redox initiator ions of cerium (IV) were synthesized. The composition of the copolymers obtained was studied by reverse potentiometric titration; it was shown that the increasing of acrylic acid in the initial mixture, increases graft acrylic units in the polysaccharide chain. From the spectra absorption lines of carboxyl and ether groups were identified, it was proved that the copolymer composition consists of two components. Also thermal conversion processes and interstructural bonds of graft copolymers of various compositions were investigated by methods of differential thermogravimetric analysis and scanning calorimetry. The decomposition temperature of methylcellulose and acrylic acid was defined in the system, and it was shown that different glass transition temperatures corresponds to each composition.References
