Abstract
Three polymerizable spans based on sorbitan monoesters were synthesized and copolymerized with the acrylamide at different ratios to prepare nine amphiphilic copolymers via the inverse emulsion copolymerization technique. The FTIR, 1H-NMR, and viscosity average molecular weight ways characterized the synthesized monomers and copolymers. The general designation for the copolymers is PSnSs. Surface active and thickening properties for the aqueous solutions of the prepared copolymers were investigated. The influence of salts' concentration and temperature variation on the apparent viscosity and surface/interfacial activity was studied for the selected copolymers, and their emulsification ability was also examined. The results showed that the attached polymerizable spans enhanced the properties and capabilities of the acrylamide copolymers. This enhancement increased with increasing the attached monomers' ratio and lipophilic chain length. The copolymer PS60S-3 displayed the best values and capabilities with values at 0.2 wt% in distilled water for the γST,γIFT, and ηapp equal 42.25 mN.m−1, 13.3 mN.m−1, and 495.76 mPa.s, respectively. It has the potential to be used as a bi-functional flooding agent.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
