The grafting of acrylic acid on PET using benzoyl peroxide has been investigated. The influence of the main parameters of grafting, the effect of additives on the degree of grafting, and the amount of homopolymer formed during the process have been determined. Futhermore, the values of apparent acti

โฆ Synopsis
The surface of porous silica particles was modified with poly(acrylic acid) by reacting the carboxyl groups on poly(acrylic acid) with the amino groups of pregrafted aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS). The chemical modifications by APS and polymer were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and the amount of APS and poly(acrylic acid) grafted to the surface were determined by thermal gravimetric analyses. The wettability of the modified silica particles, based on the rate of water penetration, was pH-dependent with PAA; at pH 1.5 the wettability increased but at pH 5.5 it decreased dramatically. The pore size and size distribution of the silica particles decreased with APS and polymer grafting.
