STUDIES ON ULTRASONIC DEGRADATION AND BLOCK COPOLYMERIZATION OF POLYACRYLAMIDE AND POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)

摘要

The kinetics of ultrasonic degradation of aqueous solution of polyacrylamide（PAM）and poly（ethyleneoxide）（PEO）as well as ultrasonic block copolymerization of aqueous solution of the mixture of PAM/PEOwere studied respectively.The degradation reaction of PEO follows a linear relationship between（P1-P∞）-1and irradiation time,while that of PAM follows a linear relationship between（P1-P∞）-1/2and irradiation time.The structure of the copolymer was identified by IR,NMR and DTA,and the copolymer prepared is a blockone.The copolymer formed by irradiating 1% aqueous solution of PEO/PAM mixture（1:1）for a period of40min.at 18.2 kHz with a sonic intensity corresponding to 2.OA input current on the reversed main circuitamounts to 61.8%.
