Catalytic Aspectr of Chemical Modifications of Polymer by Transesterification: NMR Study with model Compounds

摘要

The catalytic ativity of different compounds (dibutyl tin oxide, titanium tetrabutoxide, zirconium tetraethoxide, and para-toluenesulfonic acid) for transesterification reactions between polymers was studied. This tudy was carried out on three different reactions: between two model compounds (methyl benzoate and octyl acetate), between a polymer and a model compound (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and methyl benzoate), and for crosslinking of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with dimethyl terephthalate. For these three reactions dibutyl tin oxide presented the higher catalytic activity.
