Introduction of electrochemically activated carbon dioxide in halogen-containing polymers

Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of electrochemical carboxylation of halogen-containing polymers by using carbon dioxide has been shown on the example of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl bromide. The process proceeds via the substitution of halogen atoms by carboxylic groups; this leads to the formation of the corresponding polyacrylic acid copolymers. The influence of various factors (the nature of the medium and of the electrode materials, the electrolysis mode, etc.) on the degree of carboxylation of the polymers has been studied.
