Abstract

Abstract Magnetized polymers are produced by incorporating magnetic particles in a polymeric matrix. This article describes the use of the suspension polymerization technique using ethyl acrylate and divinylbenzene as monomers, in the presence of heptane and/or toluene as diluent, initiated by free radicals. To produce the polymer, we first performed fractional factorial planning to help visualize the factors that could influence the results, to verify the action of different responses simultaneously. Five factors were evaluated that influence the production of the polymer and incorporation of iron in the matrix. Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, magnetic force testing and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the samples. The results indicated the positive influence of the quantity of the polymerization initiator on the yield of the process and the negative effect of the content of divinylbenzene on the incorporation of iron in the matrix and on the magnetic force.

Magnetized polymer spheres, called magnetized have been found with the use of ethyl acrylate monomer resins, are obtained by incorporating magnetic particles and showing the influence of the experimental factors. These resins have attracted strong article describes the production of a magnetized form of the interest in the field of research and development, due to resin poly(ethyl acrylate-co-divinylbenzene) and evaluates their excellent potential for application in environmental the factors that influence the main characteristics of this remediation, to remove pollutants from affected sites. Among the types of experimental optimization, a multivariate method called factorial planning stands out, whereby it is possible to evaluate the responses of two or more variables simultaneously and determine which are most relevant[4,5]
