Research on the development of polymers for the formation of dynamic membranes part 2

Abstract

Insight was required in terms of the complex behaviour of polyelectrolytes with zirconium in order to understand dynamic membrane formation. This study, although initial, is providing trends between chemical structure and membrane performance. 2. POLYMERS The following was accomplished: a) Techniques for the polymerization of acidic monomers of different pKa values in homo-and copolymer form, even though no techniques were known in some of the cases. Totally novel systems imcludes poly(methacrylic acid-co-2-chloro acrylic acid) and poly(acrylic acid-co-2chloro acrylic acid-co-methacrylic acid). The method for polymerizing acrylic acid with 2chloro acrylic acid was substantially modified. b) Techniques for characterization of these polymers were developed. c) Polymers of varying molecular mass, conversion and copolymer composition were synthesized. 3.
