Abstract:

Based on the relationship between the molecular structure and the properties of polymers, maleic anhydride (MA) , polyethylene glycol (PEG) and octanol were used as main raw materials to synthesize active monomers (MOPn) . The active monomers then reacted with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylamide (AM) to obtain binary and ternary polymers containing -SO3 -, -CONH2 and oxethyl (EO) groups by free radical micellar copolymerization. The structure and thermal stability of terpolymers were characterized by IR and differential thermal analysis (DTA), respectively. The surface activities of polymers in distilled water and in the presence of inorganic salt in aqueous medium were evaluated. The effects of the monomer ratio on properties were also discussed. The results show that the synthesized bipolymer (PMOPnS) has good water solubility and surface activity, and the bipolymer with molar ratio of active monomers (MOP1000∶AMPS) of 1∶2 has a lower surface tension than the one with a molar ratio of 1∶4. The terpolymer becomes to decompose above 258 ℃. The effects of the molar ratio of monomers and the salt mass concentration on the viscosity of terpolymer solution were investigated. PMOPSA-1, a terpolymer of n(MOP1000) ∶n(AMPS) ∶n(AM)=0.5∶1∶98.5, has good thickening effect and surface/interfacial activity. The viscosities of 2% terpolymer in distilled water and in 2% NaCl solution at 30 ℃ are 1 108 and 1 157 mPa·s, respectively. The surface tension at 30 ℃ and the interfacial tension against kerosene at 45 ℃ for 2% aqueous terpolymer solution in the presence of 2%NaCl+0.1%CaCl2 are 30.43 and 2.09 mN/m, respectively, indicating that PMOPSA-1 has good thermal stability, thickening property and surface/interfacial activity.
