Abstract

AbstractIn previous work crosslinked copolymers were prepared from cinnamoyloxy ethyl methacrylate (CEMA) and several monomers feed ratios of octadecyl acrylate (ODA). Networks so produced are both flexible and porous; we now report their swelling efficacies as a function of temperature in toluene and in crude petroleum. Network characteristics is presented including the polymer + solvent interaction parameter χ, effective crosslink density υe, equilibrium modulus of elasticity E, average molecular weight between crosslinks Mc and the theoretical crosslink density υt. These parameters are correlated with structures of the synthesized sorbers.
