โฆ Synopsis
Chlorohydrin water-swellable rubber-composed of chlorohydrin rubber (CHR), crosslinked polyacrylate (CPA), the amphiphilic compatibilizer poly(vinyl alcohol)-g-poly(butyl acrylate) (PVA-g-PBA), precipitated silica (PSA), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-was prepared. The dispersion of PEG in the blend was characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The dependence of the water absorbing ratio by weight, the water-swelling ratio by volume, and the percentage loss by weight on PEG and PSA contents were investigated. The effects of PEG and PSA on the second water-swelling behaviors and long-term water-retention behaviors were also studied. Optimums for the water-absorbing and water-swelling abilities within the range of the experiment were obtained.

The graft copolymerization of butyl acrylate onto poly(vinyl alcohol) with ceric ammonium nitrate as redox initiator in a aqueous medium has been investigated. The formation of graft copolymer was confirmed by means of IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD).
