ABSTRACT
Polyvinyl benzyl
chloride (PVBC) was synthesized by free radical polymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl
chloride using benzoyl peroxide initiator at 60 ℃. PVBC was synthesised
in different solvents such as toluene, xylene, 1,4-dioxane, and tetrahydrofuran.
The polymers were structurally
characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. The thermal property of the polymer
was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential
thermogravimetric analysis (DTA). The
number average molecular weight, weight average molecular weight and
polydispersity index of PVBC synthesised in different solvents were determined
and compared by gel permeation chromatography technique.
Keywords: Polymer synthesis; polyvinyl benzyl chloride
ABSTRAK
Poli vinilbenzil klorida (PVBC) disintesis melalui pempolimeran radikal bebas daripada 4-vinilbenzil klorida dengan menggunakan pemula benzoil peroksida pada 60
℃. PVBC disintesis dalam pelarut yang berbeza seperti toluena, xilena, 1,4-dioksana dan tetrahidro furan. Pencirian struktur polimer dibuat menggunakan teknik spektroskopi 1H NMR dan FTIR. Sifat terma polimer dikaji menggunakan analisis termogravimetrik (TGA)
dan analisis termogravimetrik pembezaan (DTA). Berat molekul purata nombor (Mn), berat molekul purata berat (Mw) dan indeks polisebaran PVBC disintesis dalam pelarut berbeza telah ditentukan dan dibandingkan dengan teknik kromatografi penelapan gel (GPC).
Kata kunci: Poli vinilbenzil klorida; sintesis polimer
