Özet:
ÖZET Bu çalışmada, seryum amonyum nitrai ile organofosfor bileşikleri olan ATMP ve DTPMPA arasındaki redokB reak siyonundan yararlanarak akrilonitrilin homopolimerleşmesi ve vinil asetat ve kopolimerleşmesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Polimerleşme zamanının ve sıcaklığının, seryum ve monomer konsantrasyonunun,polimer verimine ve molekül ağırlığına etkisi incelenmiştir. Elde edilen poliakrilonitrilin mol ağırlığının 600.000 gibi çok yüksek değerlere erişebildiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca bu yöntemle elde edilen polimerin fiziksel özellikleri, persülfat başlatıcılarıyla elde edilen polimerlerle karşılaştırılmıştır.

Abstract:
SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERS WITH ORGANOFUNCTIONAL END GROUPS BY USING CERIUM SUMMARY The redox reaction between Cerium Ammonium Nitrate and an organic reducing compound has been used for initiation of vinyl polymerization. In this polymerization system; cerium (IV) is reduced to cerium (III) by reducing compound which forms a radical. This radical initiates polymerization of vinyl monomer. The redox reaction, initiation and vinyl polymerization may be written as follows; Initiation, Ce(IV) + L-H *Ce(III) + H++L. L. + CH2 = CH *[_ - CH2 - CH Propagation, L-CH"- CH + n CH" = CH ? UCH,-CH} CH"-CH Termination, Growing radicals can be terminated by Ce(IU) (linear termination) or by mutual termination reactions, VIUCH-CH} CH"-CH + Ce(IV) * Ce (III)+ Polymer "2, n 2 L4CH"-CH^- CH,- CH + L-(CH"-CH)-CH"-CH d i n i c. m. d. 2h n c i £ip X OH OH X n: 2D-140 X: CN, -C0NH2 VllThis method has been widely used for grafting vinyl monomers such as acrylonitril and acrylamide onto hydroxyl containing natural polymers such as cellulose and strach - The basic reaction is between Ce(IV) and-CH20H or-ÇH - DH groups of cellulose or starch. ' Redox: system of Ce(IV) -organic reducing compound has been used for block copolymerization and polymers with functional end groups in the department of chemistry, İ.T.Ü.. In this work, acrylonitril polymerization and copolymerization with vinyl acetate by the redox system of Ce(Il/)/organophosphorous compound. The organophosphorous compound were ATMP and DTPMPA. The resulting polymer was found to contain 1.3 % phosphorous. The reaction between ATMP or DTPMPA tuith cerium (IV) probably proceeded via a complex formation following a radical formation possible on nitrogen, methylene groups or phosphorous. This radical initiated the polymerization of acrylonitrile or the mixture of acrylonitrile/vinyl acetate (7/1 ) given polyacrylonitrile or poly (acrylonitrile -co-vinyl acetate) with organophosphorous (ATMP) chain ends. The effects of polymerization temperature and time, cerium (IV) concentration and monomer concent ration on the yield and molecular weight of polymer were studied. It was observed that increasing cerium (IV) concentration resulted an increase in both the yield and the molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile. This result was rather unexpected since increasing cerium (IV) concentration should result a decrease in the molecular weight of the polymer due to linear termi nation reaction by cerium (IV). Molecular weight range of polyacrylonitrile produced in this redox system was between 2DG.D0Q- 65D.D00. These values were much higher than molecular weight of polymer produced with other redox Vlllpolimeriigation system. From the experimental results, following polymerization mechanism was put forward. Cerium (IV) reacted with ATMP to produce [ATMP} radical which initiate polymerization of acrylonitrile and polyacrylonitrile with ATMP chain ends was produced another cerium (IV) preferably reacted with ATMP chain ends of polyacrylonitrile following a chain extention polymerization yielded polyacrylonitrile with much higher molecular weight. This chain extention reaction probably increased with increasing eerium (IV) concentration. Polymerization mechanism may be written as follows; ATMP + Ce(IV) * [ATMP]. + Ce (III) [ATMP]VnCH2 = CH.> ATMP4CH2-CH} I I CN CN ATMP4CH"-CH^- + Ce(IV) *.. ATMP^CHL-CH) - ATMP c n c n CN CN CN This mechanism may explain the increase in both molecular weight and the yield with incerasing cerium(IV) concentration and high phosphorous content (1.3 %) of high molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile. The results are summurized in the following table.
