摘要:

在离子液体介质中利用原子转移自由基聚合方法合成了纤维素一甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯的接枝共聚物，采用甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯单体合成纤维素聚合物，并对聚合物进行结构测定与性质分析。通过FTIR，1H-NMR和GPC对聚合物结构及分子量进行分析，研究了不同溶剂对聚合条件与接枝效率的影响，以及亲水基团的引入聚合物的结构、分子量分布、热稳定性以及在不同溶剂中的形态有何变化。结果表明:在溶剂DMF中进行的反应聚合速率及终止速率均高于在丁酮中进行的反应。纤维素接枝甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯聚合物分子量分布在1.81左右，该聚合物热稳定性较强; 在DMF中呈球状颗粒， 平均直径50nm，在选择性溶剂丙酮中颗粒直径100nm左右

Abstract:

With the increasing demand of using cellulose more effectively, modification of cellulose by graft polymerization provides a significant route to combine the advantages of natural and synthetic macromolecules for a wide range of potential applications. Synthesis of cellulose-graft-PHEMA copolymer via homogeneous atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in the ionic liquid was researched in this article. FTIR, 1H NMR and GPC were carried out to analyze the effects of different solvents on the polymerization conditions, grafting efficiency, molecular weight distribution, thermal stability and the changes in shape in different solvents of the copolymer as well. The results indicated that the grafting efficiency increased with the increase of reaction time. The obtained graft copolymer cellulose-graft-PHEMA showed good thermal stability, and the copolymer could aggregate into spherical particles with 50nm diameter in DMF and 100nm diameter in the selective solvent butanone.
