Poly Vinyl Caprolactam Polymerization Using Igracure

Poly n vinyl caprolactam pnvcl undergo phase transition at molecular weight dependent temperature.

Poly vinyl caprolactam polymerization using igracure. The kinetics of anionic caprolactam polymerization in the presence of mono and diimides was studied at 150 c by isothermal calorimeter method using the differential isothermal calorimeter dak 1. Chemistry of caprolactam polymerization. The dsc thermogram. Gheorghe rusu elena rusu nylon 6 tio 2 composites by in situ anionic ring opening polymerization of ϵ caprolactam.

Poly n vinylcaprolactam pnvcl is a temperature responsive polymer only second to poly n isopropylacrylamide the most popular temperature responsive polymer its applications include its use in cosmetics as an anticlogging agent in pipelines and increasingly in biomedical applications. Caprolactam the generality reported the most commonly studied ther moresponsive polymer in aqueous solution is poly n vinyl caprolactam pnvcl due to being close to the temper ature after of pnipam. This review highlights the controlled synthesis of pnvcl in different architectures. A deterministic mathematical basis for obtaining the most probable distribution of molecular weights in batch polymerization is developed.

Up to now immobilize tio 2 nanoparticle with pnvcl via controlled radical polymerization has not been reported. Synthesis characterization and properties international journal of polymer analysis and characterization 10 1080 1023666x 2011 622103 16 8 561 583 2011. A versatile model for ε caprolactam polymerization is presented. Pnvcl fits the group of poly n vinylamide polymers as it is water soluble a non ionic andwhenatalmost32 c has the lcst value in an aque.

Number average degree of polymerization d p of chain fraction varying from 100 to 10. Polymer was characterized by ftir 1 h nmr and 13 c nmr dsc tga and xrd techniques. The analyses comprised quantitative determination of unconverted cl cyclic oligomers monomeric ϵ aminocaproic acid. In this work surface initiate raft polymerization of pnvcl is investigated.

In this study n vinylcaprolactam was polymerized by free radical polymerization at 50 60 and 70 c. Ftir and nmr results showed that polymerization takes place by opening of carbon carbon double bond without any change in the caprolactam ring. The synthesized polymers were white powder soluble in water and common organic solvents.
