When acrylamide‐methacrylamide mixed crystals are irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) rays, a copolymeric sample is obtained containing both monomeric constituents. For identification and quantitative analysis of these copolymers, a modified form of UV spectroscopy was used. The greatest advantage of UV spectroscopy for copolymer analysis lies in its rapid application. A comparison of the spectrum of the unknown compositions with spectra of known systems by using a calibration curve and the shifts in absorption maxima in different concentrations are valuable aids in establishing the composition. Electron spin resonance (ESR) provides a correlation between the obtained copolymer composition and the shape of the signal of the responsible radical. ESR spectra obtained for UV‐irradiated acrylamide‐methacrylamide mixed crystals reveal that during polymerization both radicals are present. As methacrylamide percentage increases in the mixture, the signal becomes similar to the 9‐line spectrum of pure methacrylamide. When there is 90% methacrylamide present in the original mixture, a 5‐line signal is observed, with even‐numbered peaks in the methacrylamide signal appearing now as shoulders. When the methacrylamide percentage is about 16%, a characteristic 3‐line signal of acrylamide is dominant. As the methacrylamide percentage increases in the original mixture of the copolymers, ESR signals indicate a decrease in the rate constant values for second‐order decay at 60°C. The stability of the formed radicals was studied by admitting oxygen to the copolymeric samples as well as to the homopolymeric systems. Since the peroxidic radicals are more active in the hydrogen abstraction process, they decay more rapidly than the macro radical itself by a bimolecular termination reaction. As the methacrylamide percentage increases in the copolymeric mixtures, the peroxide radical formation becomes more difficult. This indicates that polymethacrylamide brings more stability in copolymerization reactions with acrylamide. The polymerization rate of both monomers and their mixed crystals were enhanced by adding chlorine gas before irradiation. Chlorine acts as an agent for slowing down the radical decay as well as accelerating the radical initiation reactions.

Synthesis and characterization of multi-hollow opaque polymer pigments
Asmaoglu, Serdar; Gündüz, Güngör; MAVİŞ, BORA; Colak, Uner (Wiley, 2016-08-05)
A new generation multihollow opaque polymer pigment was synthesized by suspension polymerization of water-in-oil-in-water emulsion method, where methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture was used as oil phase. The effects of surfactant and cosurfactant composition in terms of hydrophilic/lipophilic balance on the stability of the water-in-oil emulsion and the size of water droplets were studied. Low droplet sizes and the optimum stability were obtained with Span 80&Tween 80 surf...
Electrosynthesis of polyfuran in acetonitrile-boron trifluoride-ethyl ether mixture and its device application
Tirkeş, Süha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Wiley, 2007-01-15)
Electrochemical polymerization of furan was achieved in acetonitrile/boron trifluoride/ethyl ether (CH3 CN/BF3/EE) mixture in the presence of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate via constant potential electrolysis at 1.4 V versus Ag/AgCl. Electrochemical behavior of furan was investigated in the same solvent mixture of varying ratios, utilizing cyclic voltammetry. Free-standing polyfuran (PFu) films were obtained in CH3CN/BF3/EE mixture (2/4/4; v/v/v) and characterized using FTIR spectroscopic technique. S...
Flow induced polymer-filler interactions: Bound polymer properties and bound polymer-free polymer phase separation and subsequent phase inversion during mixing
Akay, G. (Wiley, 1990-11)
The irreversible absorption of macromolecules on to solid filler particles during mixing in the melt is investigated. The molecular weight and concentration dependence of the absorbed layer thickness are evaluated and the chemical and morphological nature of the irreversibly absorbed polymer (bound polymer) are determined. It is found that the thickness of the bound polymer is not only dependent on the filler concentration but also dependent on polymer molecular weight. Bound polymer in high density polyeth...
Indium tin oxide nanoparticles as anode for light-emitting diodes
Çırpan, Ali (Wiley, 2006-02-15)
Thin films of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles have been investigated as anode materials for polymer light-emitting diodes. A luminance efficiency (0.13 cd/ A), higher than that (0.09 cd/A) obtained in a control devices fabricated on conventional commercial ITO anodes were found. The thin films were made by spin coating of a suspension followed by annealing. The ITO nartoparticle films have a stable sheet resistance of 200 ohm/sq, and an optical transmittance greater than 86% over the range of 400-1000 ...
Electrorheological properties of kaolinite, polyindole, and polyindole/kaolinite composite suspensions
Arslan, Yasin; Unal, Halil Ibrahim; Yilmaz, Hasim; Sari, Bekir (Wiley, 2007-06-05)
In this study, polyindole (PIN) and polyindole/kaolinite (PIN/KAO) composite were synthesized by free radical polymerization using FeCl3 as an initiator. Average particle sizes (d(50)) of PIN and PIN/KAO composite were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) as 7.2 and 6.2 mu m, respectively. The samples were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, DSC/TGA and SEM measurements. Suspensions of KAO, PIN, and PIN/KAO composite were prepared in silicone oil (SO) and the sedimentation stabilities were de...
