Oxidative chemical polymerization kinetics of o-chloroaniline and characterization of the obtained polymer in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution using k2cr2o7 as oxidizing agent (original) (raw)

Kinetic study, characterization and theoretical studies of oxidative chemical polymerization of para-aminophenol in acid medium using k2cr2o7 as oxidizing agent

The synthesis of poly-p-aminophenol (PPAP) by oxidative chemical polymerization using potassium dichromate as oxidizing agent was carried out. The optimum conditions for the polymerization reaction were investigated. The order of reactions and thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated. A molecular mechanism for the oxidation of p-aminophenol using potassium dichromate is proposed. This mechanism explains the specific features of p-aminophenol oligomerization and polymerization reactions. Spectroscopic studies using IR, UV–vis and elemental analysis have evidenced the structure of polymeric chain. The surface morphology of the obtained polymer was characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to confirm the proposed structure and number of water molecules in each polymeric chain unit. Moreover, determinations of dielectric properties of the prepared polymer at the investigated optimum condition were carried out. The a.c conductivity (σac) of (PPAP) was investigated as a function of frequency and temperature. The microscopic conduction mechanism of charge carries over the potential barrier in polymer backbone was found to be classical hopping model. The equilibrium ground state geometric parametric of p-aminophenol (PAP) neutral monomer and radical cation are investigated theoretically using DFT – B3LYP/ 6-311G** level of calculation. The initiation and propagation steps of oxidative chemical polymerization are theoretically investigated.

Synthesis and characterization of Schiff-base polymer derived from 2,5-dichloroaniline and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde

2017

Schiff base sal-2,5-Clan = 2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol was used as a new precursor for preparation of poly-2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol (PDCBAP). In anaqueous alkaline medium, NaOCl oxidant is capable of oxidative poly-condensation reaction (OP). Both sal-2,5-Clan and PDCBAP were characterized by solubility tests, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR spectroscopy and TG-DTA studies. FT-IR and 1 H-NMR spectrum of PDCBAP indicates the formation of Ar-OAr bond. According to TG/DTA curves, PDCBAP demonstrated higher resistance against temperature than sal-2,5-Clan. At optimum reaction conditions, viz. time = 14h, [NaOCl]0= 0.12 M, [KOH]0 = 0.1 M and T = 90°C, the yield of PDCBAP is52.17%. Thermal studies indicated that PDCBAP is more stable than sal-2,5-Clan.

Poly(o-methoxyaniline) Chain Degradation Based on a Heat Treatment (HT) Process: Combined Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation

Molecules

Poly(o-methoxyaniline) emeraldine-salt form (ES-POMA) was chemically synthesized using hydrochloric acid and subjected to a heat treatment (HT) process for 1 h at 100 °C (TT100) and 200 °C (TT200). The HT process promoted a progressive decrease in crystallinity. The Le Bail method revealed a decomposition from tetrameric to trimeric-folded chains after the HT process. The unheated POMA-ES presented a globular vesicular morphology with varied micrometric sizes. The heat treatment promoted a reduction in these globular structures, increasing the non-crystalline phase. The boundary length (S) and connectivity/Euler feature (χ) parameters were calculated from the SEM images, revealing that ES-POMA presented a wide distribution of heights. The TT100 and TT200 presented a narrow boundary distribution, suggesting smoother surfaces with smaller height variations. The UV-VIS analysis revealed that the transition at 343 nm (nonlocal π → π*) was more intense in the TT200 due to the electronic ...

Polyaniline synthesized in propylene carbonate medium in the presence of di- and tri-chloroacetic acids. Part I. Polymer growth studies

Electrochimica Acta

In this work the electrochemical synthesis of polyanilne (PAni) in propylene carbonate (PC) medium in the presence of lithium perchlorate and di- (DCA) and tri-chloroacetic (TCA) acids was studied. In order to determine the best experimental conditions to grow an electroactive film of PAni by cyclic voltammetry, the effects of the supporting electrolyte and acid concentration were analysed. These experiments allowed us to conclude that although the degradation processes associated with the polymer are always present for both acids they are much stronger for DCA, probably due to its dimerization capability. In the presence of TCA a maximum ratio between polymer growth and polymer degradation was achieved. For aniline concentrations of 0.25 M and 0.5 M LiClO4, the electroactive PAni growth occurs only for acid concentrations higher than 1 M and 2 M, respectively for TCA and DCA.

Synthesis of antibacterial poly(o-chloroaniline)/chromium hybrid composites with enhanced electrical conductivity

Chemistry Central journal, 2018

Electrically conductive polyorthochloroaniline/chromium nanocomposites (POC/Cr NCs) were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of orthochloroaniline in the presence of Cr nanoparticles (Cr NPs). The load percentage of Cr nanofiller was varied in POC matrix to investigate the effect of Cr nanoparticles on the properties of the nanocomposites. The composition, structure, and morphology of POC and its composites were examined by Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopic analysis. The antibacterial potential of POC and its composites was evaluated by the disc diffusion method against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The results showed the improved antibacterial potential with the increase in the load percentage of nanofiller. The electrical conductivity of polymer and its composites was measured and correlated with the load percentage. The results showed that electrical conductivity of the composites was en...
