Preparation of an acrylics-grafted polyester and its aqueous dispersion?Structural study of acrylics-grafted polyesters

Abstract

Structural study of two grafted polyesters, which were different in mechanical properties, was investigated by DMA, TEM, and high‐resolution solid‐state 13C‐NMR. Using DMA and TEM, a separated phase larger than 100 nm was not found in the grafted polyesters. The main chain and the side chain seemed miscible. Analysis of T1ρHs and their distributions made the difference of microstructure in the grafted polyesters clear. P(EA‐AA)‐grafted polyester, which was very brittle, had a separated phase in the grafted polyester. The separated phase was estimated to be at a size of about 3 nm. On the other hand, P(St‐DEF‐MAnh)‐grafted polyester, which was very ductile, had a homogeneous microstructure. The difference in the microstructures of the grafted polyesters seemed to effect the mechanical properties of the grafted polyesters. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Surface grafting of polyester fiber with chitosan and the antibacterial activity of pathogenic bacteria

“…Functional groups such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, amide, amine, acrylate, pyrrolidone, and glycol groups are introduced into polymeric materials via chemical,5 blending,6 γ‐ray,7–9 plasma,10 ozone,11 UV,12 and laser13 methods. As one of the most effective means of modifying polymers, γ‐rays can rapidly create uniform active radical sites on a polymer matrix.…”

Applications for Automotive Coatings

“…They consist of "core-shell" particles with a core of high molecular weight polyester. Small particle diameters were obtained by use of polyesters having the largest amount of unsaturated bonds unless gelation occurs [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Thermosetting water based polyester resin coating composition prepared from polyalkadienediol may be directly applied to wet electrodeposited coating [31].…”

Antimicrobial finishing of regular and modified polyethylene terephthalate fabrics

“…More promising and widely used method for imparting bioactive features to PET fibers is the preliminary modification of ready‐made articles via reaction in the polymer chain or by grafting of ionogenic and nonionogenic monomers, with the objective of increasing the content or creating on the fibers new functional groups, which are able to react with biocides 5–11. Ito et al12 prepared insulin‐immobilized PET by the hydrolysis of PET and the subsequent reaction with insulin.…”
