A novel 1,8-naphthalimide green fluorescent dye and its corresponding intrinsically fluorescent polyurethane latexes

A novel green fluorescent dye, 4-hexylamino-N-(2-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide (AHHNA), was designed and synthesized, and then used as a chain extender to prepare a series of intrinsically green fluorescent polyurethane (PU) latexes. The chemical structure of AHHNA and the properties of the fluorescent PU latexes and their films were characterized. It was found that the UV–Vis and the fluorescent spectra of the PUs remained fairly consistent with AHHNA, and the fluorescence emitting capacity of 1,8-naphthalimide group was enhanced by covalently bonding AHHNA onto the PU chain. The amount of AHHNA used in the latex preparation had no obvious effect on the latex colloid properties including particle size, poly index, and zeta potential. Results showed that the color difference (ΔE) and the extraction rate (R e) of the intrinsically fluorescent PU latex film were 5.72% and 3.1%, respectively, while the ΔE and R e of the extrinsically fluorescent PU latex film were 8.31% and 84.7%, respectively, indicating that the light fastness and the solvent fastness of the intrinsically fluorescent PU latex film were much better than those of the extrinsically fluorescent PU latex film.

Carbon dot – Unique reinforcing filler for polymer with special reference to physico-mechanical properties

This work reports the reinforcing efficiency of carbon dots (CDs) in carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene (XNBR) latex at very low concentration. Amine and carboxyl functionalized CDs have been synthesized from citric acid and glycine. The CDs are covalently conjugated to XNBR latex using 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as coupling agents. The covalent conjugation of CDs with XNBR latex has been confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optical properties of CDs and XNBR-CDs conjugate have been characterized by ultraviolet (UV) - visible, fluorescence spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence spectrophotometer and haze meter. The tensile stress-strain properties of XNBR latex dramatically increases by the addition of CDs to XNBR latex. The maximum tensile stress of 2 phr of CDs loaded XNBR latex is nearly 215% higher than the maximum tensile stress of neat XNBR latex. There is a concomitant decrease in the tan δ peak height and increase in the tan δ peak temperature of XNBR latex with the incorporation of CDs to XNBR latex. In addition, the storage modulus (G′) value of sample containing 2 phr of CDs is 161% higher than the storage modulus value (G′) of neat XNBR latex. The onset of degradation temperature (Ti) value of sample containing 4 phr of CDs is 40 °C higher than the Ti value of neat XNBR latex. On the other hand, the maximum degradation temperature (Tmax) of XNBR latex containing 1 phr of CDs is 11 °C higher than the Tmax value of neat XNBR latex. Morphology of pristine CDs and XNBR-CDs conjugate has been analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report which analyzes the effect of CDs on the physico-mechanical properties of elastomer contrary to the other novel fillers of carbon family.

Preparation and Characterization of Novel Acrylic Polymer Latex Using Novel Emulsifiers

The acrylic polymer latex was prepared successfully via semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA), butyl acrylate(BA) and functional monomer butanedioicacid, 2-methylene-, 4-butylester (MBI) in water phase when mixed surfactants of tetradecyl dimethyl hydroxy propyl betaine and polyethylene glocolmono-nonylphenylether(OP-10) and 2,2′-azobis (2-methyl propion- amidine)dihydrochloride(V-50) were used to be emulsifier and initiator, respectively. The structure of the resultant latex is detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) also confirmed that latex is a kind of random copolymer. Factors, which have an effect on the emulsion polymerization and properties of the resultant latex, have been optimized. Results show that optimum conditions for preparing the latex is as follows: the amount of emulsifier, V-50 and MBI are 7%, 0.5% and 4%, respectively.

Effect of particle size distribution on stress development and microstructure of particulate coatings

The role of pigment particle size distribution on stress and microstructure development was studied for coatings prepared from aqueous suspensions of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and latex binder. Stress development was monitored using a modified beam deflection technique under controlled environment. Microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cryogenic SEM. For coatings containing only GCC particles and no latex, a wide particle size distribution resulted in a significant particle size gradient in the cross-sectional microstructure and irregular stress development. With latex addition, uniform microstructures were observed in coatings with either wide or narrow GCC particle size distribution. GCC/latex coatings prepared using GCC with a wide particle size distribution developed a higher stress than those prepared using GCC with a similar average particle size but a narrow particle size distribution. The higher stress is related to the particle packing that results in smaller pore sizes and larger capillary pressures that drive compaction. In coatings prepared with the same GCC particles but different latex binders, the stress and cracking behavior of the coating depends on the latex properties.

Synthesis and characterization of polyacrylate latex containing fluorine and silicon via semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization

The polyacrylate latex containing fluorine and silicon were successfully synthesized by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization in the presence of the mixed emulsifier of novel sodium lauroyl glutamate (SLG) anion surfactant and BCE-10 nonionic surfactant, which methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA) were used as main monomers and hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) were used as the functional monomers. Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as the initiator. The structural groups of the latex films were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermal performance of the film was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis. The latex particle size and its distribution were measured by the dynamic light scattering detector. Furthermore, surface hydrophobicity of the latex film was examined by measurement of water contact angle (WCA). WCA and thermal stability of the film are increased with the increased amount of HFMA and VTES. Factors, which have an influence on the properties of the resultant latex and its film, are investigated in detail. Results show that the optimal condition of synthesizing the emulsion is as follows: the amount of emulsifiers is 7.0%; mass ratio of SLG to BCE-10 is 1:1; the amount of initiator is 0.8%; the mass ratio of MMA to BA is 1:1; the content of the fluorine monomer and silicon monomer is 6.0%.

A new class of non-isocyanate urethane methacrylates for the urethane latexes

A series of new urethane methacrylate (UMA) monomers were synthesized with the reaction of ethylene carbonate and aliphatic amines, followed by the reaction with methacrylic anhydride. The monomers were characterized by 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass (MS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. Urethane latexes were prepared by monomer-starved semibatch polymerization of the new urethane methacrylates with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA). A uniform morphology and a unimodal particle distribution were observed by a combination of dynamic light scattering (DLS), ultrasound acoustic attenuation spectroscopy (UAAS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal stability, minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) and thermo-mechanical properties of the urethane latexes were also studied. The inclusion of urethane monomers appeared to have lowered the MFFT via a water plasticization effect, while enhancing the Tg of the final film properties.

Investigation of covalently colored polyurethane latexes based on novel anthraquinone polyurethane chain extenders

ABSTRACTNovel red and yellow polyurethane (PU) chain extenders with one anthraquinone chromophore and two hydroxyls were synthesized, and then used to fabricate covalently colored PU latexes with pendent chromophores on the PU backbone. The chemical structures of the chain extenders were characterized by 1H-NMR and FTIR, and the properties of PU latexes and their films were investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectra, particle size analysis, FTIR, Soxhlet's extraction and xenon arc aging testing. Results showed that the covalently colored PUs had the same UV-Vis absorption behavior as the corresponding chain extenders, and amount of the chain extenders had no obvious influence on the latex preparation process and the resulted latex colloidal properties. Compared with the corresponding non-covalently colored PU latex films, both the light fastness and the solvent fastness of the covalently colored PU latex films were significantly enhanced by the covalent incorporation of chromophores with PU matrix.

In Situ Use of Aqueous RAFT Prepared Poly(2‐(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) as a Stabilizer for Preparation of CO2 Switchable Latexes

Poly(2‐(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) macroinitiator is prepared in water by aqueous reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization under CO2 atmosphere, and then used directly as a stabilizer in emulsion polymerization, without requiring further purification, to yield CO2‐switchable latexes of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS). Chain extension of the PDEAEMA macroinitiator with styrene (S) leads to the in situ formation of poly(DEAEMA‐b‐S) diblock copolymers in a one‐pot process. The final latexes are pH and CO2‐responsive and can be coagulated by N2 bubbling and subsequently redispersed by CO2 bubbling. The effects of various parameters on the latex properties are investigated, including pH, concentration of macro‐RAFT agent, using MMA as comonomer and initiator concentration. The results show that replacing only 5 mol% MMA in emulsion polymerization of styrene eliminates the induction time and also has a significant influence on the particle size distribution.image

Investigation of cationic soapless P(St-co-DMAEMA) latex and its electrostatic adsorption of laponite

Cationic poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (P(St-co-DMAEMA)) latexes were prepared in the absence of surfactant by using 2,2’ -azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIBA) as the initiator. The effects of the AIBA concentration, HCl/DMAEMA molar ratio and DMAEMA amount on the emulsion polymerization and the latex properties were investigated. The particle morphology and size, the zeta potential and the amino distribution of the P(St-co-DMAEMA) latexes were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and conductometric titration, respectively. Results showed that the emulsion polymerization performed smoothly with high monomer conversion and narrow particle size distribution under the optimized conditions with AIBA concentration of 1 wt%, HCl/DMAEMA molar ratio of 1.2 and DMAEMA content of 5 wt%. The diameter of the dried latex particles decreased and the density of amino groups on the particle surfaces increased with increasing the DMAEMA content. The zeta potential of the P(St-co-DMAEMA) latexes was pH-dependent and the zero point was around at pH 7.2. A facile method was developed to fabricate P(St-co-DMAEMA)/laponite hybrid nanoparticles via electrostatic adsorption, in which the loading capacity of laponite platelets reached 17.7 wt%, and the resultant hybrid nanoparticles showed good thermal stability.

Synthesis and properties of novel self-crosslinked cationic fluorinated acrylic latex prepared with novel emulsified system

Purpose At present, the conventional method of preparing cationic fluorinated acrylic latex is to emulsify copolymerised monomers with cationic surfactants. However, there has been a wide concern about using Gemini surfactants to prepare cationic polymer latex to improve its properties. The purpose of this paper was to focus on the synthesis of novel self-crosslinked cationic fluorinated acrylic latex (SCFAL), during which the copolymerised monomers were initiated with a water soluble azo initiator and emulsified with mixed surfactants of Gemini emulsifier and alkyl polyglycoside (APG). Design/methodology/approach The novel SCFAL was prepared successfully by the semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerisation of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) and hydroxy propyl methacrylate (HPMA) in aqueous medium. Findings The conversion is the maximum and the coagulation percentage the minimum when the amounts of emulsifier and initiator are 8 and 0.6 per cent, respectively. The average particle size of the latex is significantly reduced with the increase of the amount of emulsifiers used. However, the average particle size of the latex is increased with the increase of the amount of HPMA. The particle size of the latex is of a unimodal distribution, which means that the particle size was reasonably uniform. Contact angle is increased with the increase of the amount of the HFMA. Practical implications The novel SCFAL can be widely used as significant components in the field of coatings, leather, textile, paper, adhesives and so on. Originality/value SCFAL, which was emulsified with novel mixed surfactants of Gemini surfactant and APG, has been prepared successfully. Influences of amount of initiator, emulsifier, HPMA and HFMA on emulsion polymerisation and/or properties of novel latex are investigated in detail.

The rubber tree genome shows expansion of gene family associated with rubber biosynthesis.

Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg, a member of the family Euphorbiaceae, is the sole natural resource exploited for commercial production of high-quality natural rubber. The properties of natural rubber latex are almost irreplaceable by synthetic counterparts for many industrial applications. A paucity of knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of rubber biosynthesis in high yield traits still persists. Here we report the comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the widely planted H. brasiliensis clone, RRIM 600. The genome was assembled based on ~155-fold combined coverage with Illumina and PacBio sequence data and has a total length of 1.55 Gb with 72.5% comprising repetitive DNA sequences. A total of 84,440 high-confidence protein-coding genes were predicted. Comparative genomic analysis revealed strong synteny between H. brasiliensis and other Euphorbiaceae genomes. Our data suggest that H. brasiliensis’s capacity to produce high levels of latex can be attributed to the expansion of rubber biosynthesis-related genes in its genome and the high expression of these genes in latex. Using cap analysis gene expression data, we illustrate the tissue-specific transcription profiles of rubber biosynthesis-related genes, revealing alternative means of transcriptional regulation. Our study adds to the understanding of H. brasiliensis biology and provides valuable genomic resources for future agronomic-related improvement of the rubber tree.

Morphology and mechanical properties of natural rubber latex films modified by exfoliated Na‐montmorillonite/polyethyleneimine‐g‐poly (methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites

ABSTRACTNa‐montmorillonite/polyethyleneimine‐g‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA) nanocomposite latexes were prepared by soap‐free emulsion polymerization in the aqueous suspension of Na‐MMT. The exfoliated morphology of the nanocomposites was confirmed by XRD and TEM. With the aim of improving morphology and mechanical properties of natural rubber latex (NRL) films, the synthesized Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA nanocomposites were mixed with NRL by latex compounding technology. The results of SEM and AFM analysis showed that the surface of NRL/Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA film was smoother and denser than that of pristine NRL film while Na‐MMT was dispersed uniformly on the fracture surface of the modified films, which suggested the good compatibility between NRL and Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA. The tensile strength of NRL/Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA films was increased greatly by 85% with 10 phr Na‐MMT/PEI‐g‐PMMA when Na‐MMT content was 3 wt % and the elongation at break also increased from 930% to 1073% at the same time. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the miniemulsion polymerization of very hydrophobic monomers initiated by a completely water‐insoluble initiator: thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanism

ABSTRACTSuccessful miniemulsion polymerizations of very hydrophobic monomers, such as lauryl methacrylate and 4‐tert‐butyl styrene, initiated by very hydrophobic (i.e., completely water‐insoluble) lauroyl peroxide, are reported. Conversion‐time histories, as well as final latex properties, for example, the particle size distribution, are different from similar miniemulsion polymerizations in the presence of water‐soluble initiators. The observed differences can be attributed to the average number of radicals inside a miniemulsion particle; the system obeys Smith‐Ewart case I rather than Case II kinetics. Albeit the pairwise generation of radicals in the monomer droplets, substantial polymerization rates are observed. Water, present in the droplet interfacial layer, is supposed to act as chain transfer agent. The product of a chain transfer event is a hydroxyl radical, exit of this hydroxyl radical allows for the presence of single radicals in particles. The proposed mechanisms allow for agreement between initial droplet and final particle size distributions in miniemulsion polymerization initiated by lauroyl peroxide. © 2016 The Authors Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alkali-soluble resins (ASR) and acrylic blends: influence of ASR distribution on latex film and paint properties

Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a special type of polymeric surfactant containing both hydrophobic moieties and carboxylic acid functional groups. Upon ionization, ASRs provide electrosteric stabilization to the latex particles, thus allowing reduction or even elimination of conventional surfactants while maintaining or improving latex stability. The distribution of ASR in the dried film depends on its miscibility with the latex polymer. Its presence in the blend system is expected to alter the film formation process and consequently performance properties of paint products based on the latex blends containing ASR. In this study, the effects of a high Tg, alkali-soluble resin (ASR), poly(styrene/alpha-methylstyrene/acrylic acid) terpolymer on the properties of latex and paint films were examined. The film formation of a soft acrylic latex in the absence and presence of the ASR was evaluated using a variety of analytical techniques. As expected, paint properties such as scrub resistance, wet adhesion, and block resistance were also affected by the inclusion of ASR. The results provide new insights into the structure and surface morphology of latex and paint films containing ASRs, as well as their impact on mechanical and the performance properties.

The effect of maleic acid diesters type on the stability of vinyl acetate emulsion polymers

Abstract Vinyl acetate (VAc) was copolymerized with two different maleic acid diesters, dibutyl maleate (DBM) and dioctyl maleate (DOM) at different comonomer ratios by semi-continuous emulsion polymerization method. The effects of maleic acid diesters type and amount on the latex properties of VAc emulsion polymers were investigated. The particle size, viscosity, zeta potential, surface tension and conductivity of the latexes were determined by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Brookfield viscometer, zeta potential analyzer, Du Nouy tensiometer and electrical conductometer, respectively. The latex freeze-thaw stability and ionic strength resistance were also analyzed. The experimental results have shown that the variety in comonomer type and amount created significant differences on the latex properties of VAc emulsion polymers. With the use of DBM or DOM in a certain amount, the particle size and particle size distribution of VAc emulsion polymers were decreased while their latex stability were increased. DBM was also more effective in improving the latex stability than DOM. Consequently, it was clearly observed that these two comonomers enhanced the overall latex properties of VAc homopolymer depending on their type and amount.

Investigation of the effect of molar mass on coating properties of self-crosslinking latexes based on acrylic microgels

The effect of reducing the molar mass of the shell layer of core–shell latex particles on film-forming and final coating properties of self-crosslinking latexes was investigated. Latex particles were prepared by the semi-continuous non-seeded emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and methacrylic acid as main monomers. The particle core was slightly cross-linked (using a constant amount of allyl methacrylate as a comonomer) to prevent the copolymers forming the core phase from migration into the shell phase. For interfacial cross-linking, diacetone acrylamide was copolymerized into the shell layer of latex particles to provide sites for subsequent reaction with adipic acid dihydrazide. The molar mass of copolymers forming the shell layer was systematically varied by isooctyl 3-mercaptopropionate chain transfer agent included in the synthesis of each of the shell layers and the molar mass distribution was determined using size exclusion chromatography coupled with a multi-angle light scattering detection. Fundamental properties of latexes and cast films were systematically compared. These properties included minimum film-forming temperature, pendulum hardness, adhesion, impact resistance, stress–strain properties as well as the characterization of water absorption. The results confirmed theoretical predictions and described empirically the effects of reducing the molar mass of the shell layer copolymer on final properties of coating films.

Determination of molar mass of structured acrylic microgels: effect of molar mass on coating properties of self-crosslinking latexes

The film formation process of emulsion polymers may be affected seriously by introducing the self-crosslinking chemistry. In order to possess increased final coating properties, a balance between chemical crosslinking and polymer chain mobility resulting in sufficient inter-diffusion and entanglement of polymer chains during the particle coalescence stage has to be maintained, which can be tuned significantly by varying the molar mass of emulsion copolymers. The self-crosslinking latexes of core-shell microgel particles were synthesized by the emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate as main monomers. The particle core was slightly crosslinked using allyl methacrylate, to prevent the copolymers forming the core phase from migration into the shell phase. For inter-particle crosslinking, diacetone acrylamide was copolymerized into the shell layer of latex particles to provide sites for subsequent reaction with adipic acid dihydrazide. The molar mass of copolymers forming the shell layer was systematically reduced by isooctyl 3-mercaptopropionate included in the synthesis of shell layers. The molar mass distribution of latex particles was determined using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (A4F), respectively, both separation methods being coupled with a multi-angle light scattering (MALS) detector. Whereas SEC-MALS was found to be convenient for the characterization of low molar mass shell copolymers without crosslinked structure, A4F-MALS was proved as a very efficient technique for the characterization of high molar mass copolymers and core-shell microgels. The results described empirically the effects of molar mass of the shell layer copolymer on influencing the end-use properties of coatings.

Effect of molar mass on film-forming properties of self-crosslinking latexes based on structured acrylic microgels

Abstract The influence of molar mass of the shell layer of latex particles having core–shell morphology on film-forming and final coating properties of self-crosslinking latexes based on keto-hydrazide crosslinking system was investigated. Structured latex particles were prepared by the semi-continuous non-seeded emulsion polymerization of acrylic monomers. The particle core was slightly crosslinked to prevent the copolymers forming the core phase from migration into the shell phase. The molar mass of copolymers forming the shell phase was gradually reduced by isooctyl 3-mercaptopropionate chain transfer agent included in the synthesis of the shell layers. The results confirmed theoretical predictions and revealed that even a slight amount of chain transfer agent added during the synthesis achieved a substantial lowering of minimum film-forming temperature and reduction of water sensitivity of latex coatings.
