Abstract:Mono-glyceride trimaleate(MG) was prepared by esterification from glycerol and maleic anhydride(MA). MG was employed as allyl branching monomer to copolymerize with acrylic acid and the initiator ammonium persulfate to prepare branched copolymers(BPMGs) by the free radical water emulsion polymerization. The structure of MG and BPMG was characterized by 1H NMR. The influence of monomer ratio, the dosage of initiator, the type of branched monomer and feeding mode on double bond conversion rate of MG was investigated by orthogonal tests experiment. The result shows that, double bond of branched monomer has better conversion rate when branched monomer is MG-30, n(AA):n(MG)is 6:1, the reaction temperature 80 ℃, reaction time is 2.5 h, the mass of initiator ammonium persulfate is 6%(base on tatal mass of reaction meterials). The result of application shows that, the product has better filling quality and physical properties. TEM showed the fiber bundles processed by the branched copolymer was dispersed sufficiently.
