In order to synthesize benzoyl peroxide functionalized polystyrene (PSt), polyisoprene (PI) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), anionic living PSt, PI, and PMMA were allowed to react with an excess amount of 4-(bromomethyl)benzoyl tert-butyl peroxide (BMtB) or bis[3,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzoyl] peroxide (BDBP) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -78°C. The results indicate that coupling reactions leading to dimers are significant during the reaction. Dimer formation was avoided when the living polystyrene was modified to the alcoholate anion by reaction with ethylene oxide (EO). © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1999.

A new soluble terephthaloyl oligoperoxide (OTP) was synthesized by the reaction of terephthaloyl. peroxide and 2,5-dimethyl 2,5-dihydroperoxy hexane. Thermal polymerization of vinyl monomers (styrene, methyl methacrylate) with OTP yielded poly(styrene peroxide) (PS-P) and poly(methyl methacrylate peroxide) (PMMA-P) which are used in the grafting reactions onto medium chain length unsaturated bacterial polyester obtained from soybean oily acids with Pseudomonas oleovorans poly(3-hydroxy alkanoate), (PHA). PS-g-PHA and PMMA-g-PHA graft copolymers isolated from related homopolymers were characterizated by 1H NMR spectrometry, FT-IR spe . . .ctroscopy, thermal analysis and gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) techiques. Swelling measurement of the crosslinked graft copolymers were also measured to calculate qv values Daha fazlası Daha az

Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinked graft copolymers are described. Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s containing double bonds in the side chain (PHA-DB) were obtained by co-feeding Pseudomonas oleovorans with a mixture of nonanoic acid and anchovy (hamci) oily acid (in weight ratios of 50/50 and 70/30). PHA-DB was thermally grafted with a polyazoester synthesized by the reaction of poly(ethylene glycol) with MW of 400 (PEG-400) and 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanopentanoyl chloride). Sol-gel analysis and spectrometric and thermal characterization of the networks are reported. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1999.

Poly(3-hydroxy alkanoate) containing unsaturated side chains was produced by feeding Pseudomonas oleovorans with soybean-oil acid (PHA-soybean). The composition of PHA-soybean were found to be 10 mol-% of unsaturated side chains with the saturated hexanoate, octanoate and decanoate units. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) was thermally grafted on PHA-soybean in the presence of benzoyl peroxide. Fractional precipitation was used to isolate the graft copolymer from related homopolymers. PHA content in copolymer samples was between 15 to 30 mol-%. Graft copolymer samples were kept in hydroquinone to prevent post polymerization leading to cross . . .linking in a day under laboratory atmospheric conditions. Copolymer characterization was performed using GPC and NMR techniques. Thermal analysis of the graft copolymer indicated the decomposition and glass transition temperatures of the PHA and PMMA segments of the graft copolymers. They also showed elongation at break in the range 10 to 21 related to the plasticizer effect of the biopolyester segments Daha fazlası Daha az
