  • Crosslinking Kinetics in Emulsion Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate/Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate
    Crosslinking kinetics in emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate Hidetaka Tobita*, Kazuhiro Kimura, Kazumi Fujita and Mamoru Nomura Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Fukui University, Fukui, 910 Japan (Received 29 June 1992; revised 24 August 1992) A newly developed kinetic model for network structure development during emulsion crosslinking copolymerization of vinyl and divinyl monomer is used to investigate the kinetics of emulsion crosslinking copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The agreement of predicted with measured development of crosslinking density and that of monomer concentration in the polymer particles is found to be satisfactory. It is shown that the crosslinking density is fairly high even from very early stages of polymerization and that the produced polymeric networks tend to be highly heterogeneous. The kinetics of crosslinking and resulting network structure are essentially different from those for polymerizations in homogeneous media such as bulk and solution polymerization.

  • Modification of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Surfaces With
    MODIFICATION OF POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) SURFACES WITH AZOBENZENE GROUPS TO DEVELOP A PHOTORESPONSIVE SURFACE by Ashley Elizabeth Clarke A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Chemical Engineering in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December, 2017 Copyright © Ashley Elizabeth Clarke, 2017 Abstract Photoswitchable surfaces can be used to reversibly control surface wettability, adsorptivity, and protein adhesion to influence cell interactions at the surface. Control over protein adsorption and cell adhesion is useful in many applications, from cell culture scaffolds to drug delivery devices and improving the cell response to materials in vivo. Switchable properties can be attained by polymerizing light-responsive monomers or by modifying existing materials. This project investigates surface modification as a method of developing light-responsive poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces and coatings of a copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate (AEM) (termed MMAcoAEM). In this work, PMMA surfaces were functionalized with amine or carboxyl groups for azobenzene modification and cell-material interaction studies. PMMA was functionalized with hexamethylenediamine (HMD) or O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl) propylene glycol-block-polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene glycol (PPG-PEG-PPG) groups via aminolysis or functionalized with carboxyl groups via hydrolysis. Aminated PMMA was then modified with 4-(phenylazo)benzoic acid using a carbodiimide reaction. Surfaces were characterized using ninhydrin assays, titration, contact angle measurements, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible (UV- VIS) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The aminolysis reaction conditions from literature1 were revised to improve the graft density, with up to 36.4 ± 7.0 nmol/cm2 of HMD or 20.3 ± 2.9 nmol/cm2 of PPG-PEG-PPG groups functionalized to PMMA.

The reaction was carried out at 90ºC for 5 hours. Subsequently, the reaction was stopped and the reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature. A yellow polymer solution was obtained which was precipitated in a large excess of water-methanol, filtered, washed with excess of water to remove unreacted products and dried to a constant weight at 60oC in vacuo. + C O C C CH3 N o Acrylonitrile 90 C AIBN Methyl methacrylate N2 DMF CH3 H CH2 C CH2 C m n CN COOCH3 Poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl methacrylate) Scheme 1: Reaction scheme for the synthesis of p(AN-co-MMA) copolymer Characterization The following analytical techniques were used to characterize the homopolymers and copolymers Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was used for composition analysis of the polymers.
