Abstract
Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) on sodium alginate (SA) in acetone-water as dispersion medium was carried out by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as initiator. The results obtained were as follows: The unreacted SA in the gross polymer was easily separated from homopolymer and graft copolymer by the extration with 40% aqueous NaI solution at 60℃. From the relation between the amount of added MMA in SA solution and the flow time, it might be assumed that MMA was adsorbed complexed and activated to the SA. The flow time was increased by the flocculation of SA with the amount of MMA added, and then decreased with the successive addition of MMA by the coagulation. The ratio of increase and decrease for the flow time was proportional to the concentration of SA. The hydrophilic polymer SA was the dispersed phase(domain) and the hydrophobic polymer PMMA was the continuous phase (matrix) from the morphological observation. The stable emulsion of water in oil system was formed in this polymerization. And the great stability of PWO emulsion containing SA would be owing to the formation of graft copolymer as emulsifying agent. The emulsion would be named PWO emulsion. The grafting had the maximum values with the concentration of SA and MMA. The overall apparent activation energy for the graft copolymerization at the ratio of acetone to water 16/64 (vol%/vol%) was determined to be 17.8 kcal/mol from the Arrhenius plot.

분산매로서 아세톤-물과 개시제로 과산화수소(H2O2)를 사용하여 methyl methacrylate(MMA)를 sodium alginate(SA)와 중합하여 중합혼합물(homopolymer, graft copolymer 및 미반응 SA) 중의 미반응 SA를 60℃에서 40% NaI 수용액으로 유출하여 거의 중합도저하없이 용이하게 분리하였다. SA용액중의 MMA량과 유동시간과의 관계에서 첨가된 MMA량의 증가에 따라 SA에 MMA의 흡착 및 complexing의 증가로 SA의 flocculation이 증가되므로 유동시간이 증가되어 최대치를 나타냈으며, 이때의 MMA가 활성화되어 반응에 관여되는 것으로 나타났다. 그런데 MMA의 계속적인 첨가로 점차 MMA의 탈착이 증가되어 SA의 coagulation 현상이 나타나고 따라서 유동시간이 감소된 것으로 생각되었다. 몰포로지 조사 결과 친수성 polymer SA가 분산상(domain)으로, 소수성 polymer PMMA가 연속상(matrix)으로 형성된 emulsion을 확인하였으며, 이것을 PWO(polymeric water in oil) emulsion이라 명명하였다. SA, MMA, 및 H2O2의 농도가 중합에 미치는 영향에서 graft율에 미치는 SA 및 MMA농도는 graft율이 최대가 되는 점이 존재했으며 H2O2농도는 률의 증가가 둔화되는 점이 존재했다. 분산매 acetone/water을 16vol%/64vol%로 사용한 유중수계의 graft중합의 겉보기 활성화에너지는 수중유계의 값에 비해 높은값 17.8kcal/mole로 나타났다.
