Low Temperature Plasma-Initiated Copolymerization of Acrylamide and Sodium Acrylate

Abstract:

The copolymerization of AM and AANa was initiated by plasma at ambient temperature and pressure by the dielectric barrier discharge technology in this work. The alternative copolymers are confirmed by FTIR. The effect of initiation time, polymerization temperature, monomer mass fraction, mole rate of AM to AANa and postpolymerization time on the conversion rate and molecular weight of the copolymers were studied. The molecular weight of the copolymers can be further increased by post-polymerization,and the plasma-initiated polymerization in this experiment was proven to follow the free radical polymerization mechanism.
