Heterogeneous Radical Modification of Polypropylene
Brňák, Matúš ; Petruš, Josef (referee) ; Kučera, František (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the heterogeneous technique of preparation of grafted polypropylene g maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH). The knowledge of the course of the reaction and its impact on the PP grafting process are summarized in the theoretical part. The preparation of the grafted PP was carried out in a fluidized polymerization reactor at 115 °C, speed of mixing 210 rpm, reaction time 60 min and pressure 6 bar. The amount of grafted MAH was monitored by using a MAH concentration 3 and 5 wt% and an initiator concentration 0.25; 0.5; 1; and 1.5 wt%. Modification efficiency was compared by using 3 types of PP with different particle morphology and specific surface area. By creating the theoretical model, the maximum surface concentration of MAH was calculated and compared with experimental data. Characterization of PP materials was performed by Electron Scanning Microscopy (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and particle surface analysis by BET. Quantitative analysis of grafted MAH was determined by FTIR spectroscopy and acid-base titration.

Functionalized hyper-cross-linked porous polyacetylenes
Havelková, Lucie
An atom-economic one-step chain-growth coordination homopolymerization providing high yields of functionalized hyper-cross-linked polyacetylenes with permanent micro/mesoporous texture and specific surface area up to 1062 m2 /g was introduced and optimized. Substituted 1,3-diethynylbenzenes served as monomers simultaneously providing functionalization and hyper-cross-linking of the networks. The homopolymerization was compatible with the heteroatom groups of the monomers and allowed to prepare polyacetylene networks with the wide spectrum of univalent functional groups: -F, -Cl, -Br, -NO2, -COOCH3, -CH2OH, -COOH and -CH=O decorating the aromatic segments of the networks in a high extent (7.87 mmol/g). A novel two-step synthesis of functionalized hyper-cross-linked polyacetylenes was introduced combining chain-growth coordination polymerization of acetylenic monomers and covalent templating using acetal and Schiff base protecting groups. By postpolymerization hydrolytic removal of the protecting segments from the primary networks, the networks with a high content (up to 9.61 mmol/g) of univalent functional groups -CH2OH, -CH=O and -NH2 were prepared. These groups were placed either on the cross-linking or linear (aromatic and aliphatic) network segments, even in the vicinity of the main...

Porous polymer networks prepared from ethynylpyridines
Titlová, Štěpánka ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Sedláček, Ondřej (referee)
Series of new micro/mesoporous polymer networks with high content of pyridine segments was prepared. For the preparation were used ethynylpyridine type of monomers which were successfully homopolymerized and copolymerized with hydrocarbon diethynylarenes by chain-growth coordination polymerization catalyzed with [Rh(NBD)acac] complex. Polymerizations provided polyacetylene networks with main chains densely cross- linked by pyridine or arylene links. Prepared pyridine networks showed specific surface area SBET from 308 m2 /g to 923 m2 /g and variable content of pyridine segments in an interval from 3,27 mmol/g to 7,86 mmol/g. In networks, pyridine segments made part of interchain links or side groups. Networks with pyridine segments were successfully quaternized by heterogeneous postpolymerization reaction with bromoethane to form well covalently defined networks containing N-ethylpyridinium segments. Quaternized networks containing pyridinim segments in amount from 2,41 mmol/g to 4,24 mmol/g had preserved micro/mesoporous texture with values of SBET from 331 m2 /g to 592 m2 /g. Polyacetylene networks with N-ethylpyridinium segments were prepared also by catalyst-free (spontaneous) quaternization polymerization of diethylpyridines. These networks were worse covalently defined and had proved lower...

Conjugated porous polymers derived from diethynylarenes by chain-growth polymerization and polycyclotrimerization
Slováková, Eva ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Merna, Jan (referee) ; Červený, Libor (referee)
4 ABSTRACT The synthesis has been described yielding a new type of rigid conjugated polymer networks which possess a high content of permanent micropores and macropores and exhibit high surface areas up to 1469 m2/g. The networks have been prepared via chain-growth coordination polymerization catalysed with insertion catalysts based on Rh complexes. This polymerization has been newly applied to bifunctional acetylenic monomers of diethynylarene type (1,4-diethynylbenzene, 1,3-diethynylbenzene and 4,4'-diethynylbiphenyl). The covalent structure of the networks consists of the polyacetylene main chains densely connected by arylene struts. The W and Mo metathesis catalysts have been revealed as inefficient for the synthesis of these networks. The increase in the polymerization temperature and time has been shown to affect positively the content and the diameter (up to 22 nm) of the mesopores in the networks. A mechanism has been proposed that explains the mesopores formation as a result of mutual knitting of small particles of the microporous polymer. The application of emulsion polymerization technique allowed to prepare texturally hierarchical polyacetylene networks possessing interconnected open macropores (diameter up to 4,8 μm) the walls of which exhibited micro/mesoporous texture. It was demonstrated...

Functionalized microporous polymer networks prepared from ethynylarenes
Stahlová, Sabina ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Etrych, Tomáš (referee) ; Červený, Libor (referee)
The preparation of a new group of functionalized conjugated polymer networks has been described based on spontaneous quaternization polymerization of ethynylpyridines with bis(bromomethyl)arenes. The networks consisted of polyacetylene chains with pyridyl and pyridiniumyl pendants cross-linked with -CH2(arylene)CH2- links. The variation of the ratio of monomer and quaternization agent in the feed modified the ratio of pyridyl and pyridiniumyl groups in the networks (pyridyl/pyridiniumyl ratios from 0 to 1.32). The networks did not exhibit a permanent microporosity that could be confirmed by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. Nevertheless, all networks were active in capture of CO2 at 293 K (up to 0.73 mmol CO2/g, 750 Torr). It has been hypothesized that CO2 capture reflected formation of a temporary porous texture of the networks through conformational changes of the network segments enabled by the segments mobility at room temperature. The preparation of functionalized conjugated polymer networks with permanent micro/mesoporosity (SBET up to 667 m2 /g) has been described that was based on chain coordination copolymerization of acetylenic monomers. The copolymerization of 1,4-diethynylbenzene or 4,4'-diethynylbiphenyl with mono or diethynylbenzenes bearing NO2 or CH2OH groups has been demonstrated as...

Preparation of functionalized polyacetylenes with linear and cross-linked architecture
Havelková, Lucie ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Balcar, Hynek (referee)
The phenylacetylene type monomers with benzene ring substituted with one or two aldehyde groups (besides an ethynyl group) were efficiently polymerized into linear mostly high-molecular-weight polyacetylenes with aldehyde groups in pendants if the complex [Rh(NBD)acac] was used as the polymerization catalyst. To achieve high yield and molecular weight of the polymer the positioning of the aldehyde group to meta position with respect to the ethynyl group was most appropriate. It was confirmed that polyacetylenes with aldehyde groups were modifiable by a reaction with p-toluidine under formation of Schiff base type pendant groups. 1,3-Diethynylbenzenes with various substituents in position 5 on the ring (R = H, F, Cl, Br, HCO, NO2, COOCH3) were efficiently polymerized with [Rh(NBD)acac] catalyst into microporous or micro/mesoporous polyacetylene networks that exhibited specific surface area from 311 to 1146 m2 /g. In the case of the networks with HC=O groups, the positive effect of these groups was confirmed on the capacity of the network in CO2 and methanol vapor capture. The composition and texture of the networks possessing HC=O groups were partly reversibly modifiable in reaction with p-toluidine.
