The use of the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) in copolymer synthesis has received much interest, as the microbial polyester segments can bring interesting properties, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. The synthesis, properties, and applications of graft copolymers containing poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) as main chain or branches are reviewed here, with emphasis on the different preparation methods, which fit into the three main synthesis strategies of graft copolymers: “grafting onto”, “grafting from”, and “grafting through” or macromonomer methods.Key words: poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates), graft copolymer, synthesis, properties, applications.

AbstractIn this study, 2-oxopropylmethacrylate-terminated poly(N-vinyl-2- pyrrolidone) is produced by cationic polymerization using HClO4 as an initiator. Termination (end capping) step is accomplished using 2- hydroxypropylmethacrylate (2HPMA) and the polymer product has different chain lengths of molecular weight averages ranging from 672 to 3049 g/mol. The study also synthesised amphipathic graft copolymers having hydrophobic poly(α- methylstyrene) as a backbone chain and hydrophilic poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as side chains of various lengths. The copolymer synthesis was accomplished by free radical copolymerization of ω-oxopropylmethacrylate PVP in the presence of α-methyl styrene initiated with benzoyl peroxide. Measurements of the dynamic viscosity of the polymer solution (20% weight of macromonomers in ethanol) show that the viscosity is proportional to the average molecular weights M̅n . However, a reverse behaviour of the viscosity variation with regard to M̅n is observed for graft copolymer samples. The viscosity variation with respect to the graft copolymer mass must be due to steric effects, which are strongly pronounced in grafted copolymer chains. Appearance of the number of side chains attached to poly(α-methylstyrene) backbone reveals that the grafting reaction has occurred with good efficiency.

Poly Acrylamide

An amphiphilic graft copolymer with poly(acrylamide-methacrylate) as a main chain and octylphenyl polyoxyethylene as side chains (P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10) was successfully synthesized via free radical copolymerization. The structure and the composition of the graft copolymer were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis (EA) in detail. The absolute molecular weight of the copolymer is 1.304×106, as determined by static light scattering (SLS). The molar ratio of acrylamide monomer to the macromonomer is 33:1 in the copolymer and 53 C8PhEO10 branch chains attach to a P(AM-MA) backbone. The micellar behavior of P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10 was preliminarily studied by means of surface tension measurements, transmission electron microscope (TEM) in aqueous solution. It was found that the stable spherical micelles with core-shell structure are formed and polymolecular micelles are larger and more compact than monomolecular micelles. In addition, the graft copolymer has favorable thermal stability.
