Grafting of PP using itaconic anhydride and drying agent
Petruš, Josef ; Hermanová, Soňa (referee) ; Kučera, František (advisor)
The bachelor´s thesis deal with a preparation of polypropylene (PP) grafted with itaconic acid (IA) and itaconic anhydride (IAH) arising by thermic dehydration in situ from IA in presence of drying agents. Theoretical part contains actual knowledges especially about radical grafting of polypropylene with different monomers. In experimental part samples of polypropylene grafted with 0.5 wt % IA were prepared with free different drying agents: calcium oxide, aluminium oxide and calcium sulfate hemihydrate. To comparison PP grafted with 0.5 wt % IAH was prepared. Thermic behaviour of IA with drying agent and IAH samples was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement. Process of grafting was realized with mixer Brabender at temperature 230 °C, speed was 30 RPM and reaction time 6 minutes. 2,5-dimethyl-2,5bis(tert-buthylperoxy)hexane (Luperox 101) was used as iniciator. Percentage of grafted carboxylic groups was provided by acid-base titration. FTIR spectroscopy was used for quantitative and qualitative analysis of characteristic groups.
