Özet:

In this study, synthesis of unsaturated Poly(2-Butene Maleate) polyester by condensation polymerization and preparation of cross-linked graft copolymer with methyl methacrylate are presented. For this purpose, unsaturated polyesters were synthesized in four different time periods (12h, 24h, 36h, 48h) in the presence of hydroquinone using 1,4-Butanediol-2-ene and maleic anhydride. Then, the obtained unsaturated polyester was purified on the alumina column and used to obtain cross-linked copolymer with methyl methacrylate. Here in, methyl methacrylate acts as both co-monomer and cross-linking agent. In the preparation of Poly(2-Butene Maleate), the optimization study of the molecular weight and yield ratios with the time parameter was carried out. In the results obtained, it was observed that the maximum molecular weight was reached after almost 36 hours (Mn=3400). It was observed that time did not have much effect on the yield. Structural characterizations of the obtained products were supported by FT-IR and NMR analyzes. In thermal analysis, it was observed that the thermal stability of Cross-linked graft copolymer is higher than unsaturated polyester but lower than pure Poly(methyl methacrylate).
