Abstract

Polyacrylamide chains were grafted onto styrene-divinylbenzene (S-DVB) copolymer beads using gamma radiation from a 60Co source by applying the simultaneous method. S-DVB macroporous copolymer was synthesized by aqueous suspension polymerization and characterized by determining apparent density, surface area, pore volume distribution and water uptake. Optical and electron microscopies were used in order to observe the copolymer morphology. The effect of parameters such as monomers concentration, irradiation dose and presence of inhibitor (Mohr’s salt) on grafting reaction was studied. The grafting reaction was evaluated with the aid of elemental analysis, FTIR, HR-MAS NMR spectrometry, thermogravimetry (TG) and electron microscopy. Grafting yield (evaluated by nitrogen content) increased with acrylamide concentration and irradiation dose increasing. However, above determined values of those parameters it is observed a tendency of decreasing on the grafting yield. The presence of Mohr’s salt inhibited the production of homopolymer as well as the progress of the grafting reaction.
