Abstract
In this work, with the aim of increasing the monomer conversion rate in the styrene-graphite in situ polymerization system, graphite modification methods have been investigated. Modification of the graphite in the presence of nitric acid, sodium hydroxide or sodium dodecyl benzene sulfate (SDBS) was investigated with five different methods in order to reduce its adverse effects on the polymerization rate of styrene. The most effective modification approach was determined using quantitative data such as polymerization conversion and graphite dispersion in organic phase. Compared to other modified samples and unmodified graphite, graphite modified in sodium hydroxide solution with SDBS showed the most compatibility with the polymerization system and caused a significant increase in the monomer conversion rate. Monomer conversion increases by 22% and 29% respectively in the presence of 0.5% and 2% of the best modified graphite compared to non-modified graphite. Also, the results showed that this modification method stabilizes the suspension of graphite particles in styrene for a longer period of time than other methods.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology.
As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry.
