The superabsorbent was made by hydrolysis of α-cellulose-co-polyacryloniteile(PAN) whose total polyacrylonitrile chain content is about 46% and its absorbency is about 943g-water/g-sample.
Increase of initial absorbencies follow the order α-cellulose > Filter paper > sodium carboxmethyl cellulose.
To determine of conditions for the grafting copolymerization, used the different temperatue, the concentration of PAN, and solvent(methanol, ethanol, n-propanol). The effect of hydrolysis conditions was studied. Optimum hydrolysis condition was detemined from absorbency.
To study of influence of medium on grafting of Acrylonitrile onto partially α-cellulose, the experiment was cattied out in water/solvent mixtures. the solvent used methanol, ethanol, propanol. Grafting was carried out in a different of solvent ratio, using a temperature of 45℃ and the reaction time of six hours. in the many figure and table, it is clear that regardless of water/solvent system employed, a substantial amount of grafting is obtained, a regular decrease also accurse with increase in the solvent ratio in the water/solvent mixture. decrease in the graft yield, which results from an increase in the ratio of solvent in the water/solvent mixture, could be interpretied in terms of the adverse effect of the solvent on the swelling properties of α-cellulose in water. the data suggest that the relative grafting properties follow the order: propanol>ethanol>methanol.
At the same condition, graft copolymers which have 10~46% PAN were synthesized. but PAN, not grafted, included in samples was not seperated by using solvents, and it was increased yield of PAN. when PAN grafted different based materials. The yield of PAN(%) follows the order-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) > Filter paper > α-cellulose.
