Abstract:
A method of synthesis of acrylate-vinyl copolymers based on glycidyl methacrylate and styrene at different molar ratios and epoxy cyclocarbonates based on them was developed. Synthesis of styrene-glycidyl methacrylate (СP GMA/St) copolymers was carried out by the method of thermally initiated radical polymerization in steel reactors in the presence of 1% azo-bis-isobutyronitrile initiator at a temperature of 65 °C for 10 hours. The number of epoxy groups in the synthesized СP GMA/St, determined by the potentiometric titration method, naturally decreases with a decrease in the molar ratio of GMA/styrene. The synthesis of СP GMA/St epoxycyclocarbonates was carried out in a high-pressure autoclave by passing CO2 through the reaction mixture of a solution of KP in toluene with a catalyst (tetrabutylammonium bromide 5%) with stirring at a temperature of 110–120 °C, a pressure of (4-5) atm. The structure of СP and ECC was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. No bands of double bonds are observed in the IR spectra of СP GMA/St, there are vibration bands characteristic of oligostyrene and vibration bands of C=O, C–O–C and epoxy groups. During the formation of ECC, new vibration bands of cyclocarbonate groups with a maximum of 1802 cm-1 appear, changes are observed in the absorption region of C–O–C groups (1100–1300) cm-1, and the vibration bands of epoxy groups with a maximum of 843 cm-1 decrease. The study of relaxation transitions in acrylate-vinyl copolymers GMA/St and epoxy cyclocarbonates based on them using the DSC method showed that all samples are amorphous single-phase polymers. After changing the background, the excessive enthalpy observed during the first heating disappears, and the glass transition temperature shifts towards higher temperatures, which indicates the formation of a denser and thermodynamically balanced structure. The thermostability of the synthesized GMA/St copolymers and epoxy cyclocarbons was investigated by the method of thermogravimetry. It was established that all the obtained substances have one stage of weight loss and are heat resistant, since weight loss begins at a temperature above 240 °C. In the future, the obtained epoxycyclocarbonates will be used for the synthesis of polyurethanes by the non-isocyanate method.
Key words: acrylate-vinyl copolymers, epoxycyclocarbonates, styrene, glycidyl methacrylate, carbonization, IR spectroscopy.
