Acrolein was polymerized by radiation and base catalyzed condensation. Radiation polymerization was carried in bulk form under vacuum and air atmosphere at several temperatures. The conversion reached close to 100%, and polymers were free flowing white powders up to 5% conversion at −15°C, up to 80% at higher temperatures and up to 10% in air atmosphere polymerization. Radiation polymerization from aqueous solutions of various pH and from acetone solutions gave white powder polymers with limiting conversions ranging from 10 to 18% depending on the solution type or pH. The conversion at pH between 1, 5 to 8 gave minimum pH of 5 to 6. The base catalyzed polymerization at pH of 9 to 12 gave white powdered polymers changing to a yellowish colour with increase of pH. The limiting conversion was about 14%. The nature of repeating units in the polymer chains was studied by IR and thermogravimetry. The polymers contained different repeating units randomly, and the aldehyde content was higher for radiation polymerization than base catalyzed polymerization. A scanning electron microscope investigation showed the powder polymers to have microspherical structures of various size depending on polymerization conditions.

Polymerization of allyl alcohol by radiation to obtain microencapsulated structure Usanmaz, Ali; Sarıcılar Zengin, Süreyya (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1989-4) Allyl alcohol was polymerized by radiation under various conditions. The limiting conversions were about 30% in bulk, 35% when containing 0.03 mole fraction AlCl3 and 50% when water was contained at 27% (v/v). Irradiation was done with Co-60 gamma rays at room temperature and under vacuum. The presence of oxygen did not cause any change in the reaction rate. Molecular weights were determined by viscosity and cryoscopic methods. K and α values were found to be 3.57×10−4 and 0.62 for solutions in methanol at ...
Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Carbon Nanotube Composites Prepared With Chemically Treated Carbon Nanotubes Yesil, Sertan; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2011-07-01) Surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were functionalized by treatment with strong acid mixture (purification) followed by modification with sodium dodecyl sulfate, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA). Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-based conductive polymer composites were prepared by using these CNT by means of melt mixing with a twin screw extruder. Amount of carboxylic acid groups on the CNT surface increased after acid treatment but decreased with surfac...
Polymerization of 1,2-epoxy-4-epoxyethylcyclohexane Usanmaz, Ali; Asaid, Adel (Wiley, 1986-12) Radiation‐induced polymerization of 1,2‐epoxy‐4‐epoxyethylcyclohexane (EECH) has been carried out at different temperatures in solid and liquid states. Activation energy was calculated from Arrhenius plot and ionic mechanism was proposed. Molecular weights for some polymer samples were determined by cryscopic method and compared with their intrinsic viscosities. Cationic polymerization of EECH initiated by BF3 · O(C2H5)2 and anionic polymerization initiated by NaOH are also studied. Two epoxy rings can be o...
Polymerization and polymer characterization of n-vinylcaprolactam Polat, Özlem; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2005) In this study, N-vinylcaprolactam was polymerized by radiation in the solid state. The polymerization was carried out at room temperayure under vacuum and open to atmosphere respectively. The polymerization mechanism showed autoacceleration and the rate of polymerization was higher in the presence of oxygen. However the limiting conversion was 100% under vacuum conditions and 90% in the present of oxygen. This is due to the low molecular weight olgomer formation in the presence of oxygen. The polymers were ...
Microwave-Assisted Simultaneous Synthesis of Conducting and Non-Conducting Polymers from Potassium 2,4,6-Tribromophenolate Celik, Gueler Bayrakli; Kisakurek, Duygu (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-01-01) A simultaneous synthesis of white poly(dibromophenylene oxide) (P) or yellow radical ion polymer (RIP) and black conducting polymer (CP) were achieved from potassium 2,4,6-tribromophenolate by microwave energy in a very short time. Polymerizations were carried out (i) under constant microwave energy and constant amount of water with different time intervals ranging from I to 7 min or (ii) at constant time intervals and constant amount of water with variation of microwave energy ranging from 70 to 900 watt o...
