Graft Polymerization of Acrylic Acid onto nylon 6

  • Published : 1976.09.01

Abstract

Acrylic acid has been grafted onto nylon fabric with ceric salts and ${\gamma}$-rays from Co-60 as initiators. The distribution of molecular weight of the grafted polyacrylic acid has been determined and it was found that the ratio of weight-average and number-average molecular weight was higher in room temp. than in low temp. (-184$^{\circ}C$). The weight-average molecular weight of the polyacrylic acid was calculated from viscosity measurements in sodium hydroxide solution. The factors affecting graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto nylon were examined. A possible mechanism that the oxidation of nylon probably takes place at the methylene group attached to nitrogen to give a free-radical was discussed.

Ceric 염과 ${\gamma}$-선을 계기로 하여 Nylon 직포에 Acrylic acid를 접목반응 시켰다. 접목반응된 Polyacrylic acid의 분자량 분포를 측정한 결과 양 평균분자량과 수 평균분자량의 비는 낮은온도(-184$^{\circ}C$)dptj 보다는 상온에서 더 높았다는 것을 알았다. Polyacrylic acid의 양 평규 sqnswkfid은 Sodium hydroxide용액에서 점도를 측정하여 계산하였다. Nylon에 Acrylic acid가 중합반응될 때에 중합반응에 영향을 주는 요소들을 시험하였다. Nylon의 산화반응은 질소원자에 인접해 있는 methlene group에서 일어나 free-radical이 만들어 진다는 메카니즘을 논의 하였다.
