    2004
    Abstract
    Graft copolymerization of mixtures of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm) onto chitosan was carried out by using potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator in the presence of methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The effect of reaction variables, such as MBA concentration and AA/AAm ratio on the water absorbency capacity have been investigated. The polymer structures were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. Water absorbencies were compared for the hydrogels before and after alkaline hydrolysis. In the non-hydrolyzed hydrogel, enhanced water absorbency was obtained with increasing AA in monomer feed. However, after saponification, the sample with high AAm ratio exhibited...

    Preparation of Acrylamide Copolymers Containing Highly Hydrophobic Monomers and Study on Their Drag Reduction Properties

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Dadkhah, Parsa (Author) ; Ramazani Saadatabadi, Ahmad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    With the rapid increase of energy consumption, energy problem has been a global issue, which must be faced with and solved. One way to prevent energy consumption is to reduce drag in the flow inside the pipes by using polymer additives; Because the Transportation of liquids using pipeline technology has its limitations, since turbulent flow inside the pipe involves a loss of energy. The net effect of this is that increasing the energy applied to the flow does not increase the flow rate. For this purpose, copolymers and terpolymers of hydrophilic acrylamide monomers along with hydrophobic styrene and hydrophilic maleic anhydride monomers were synthesized by reverse emulsion polymerization...

    Abstract
    A high sensitive upper critical solution temperature (UCST) copolymer was synthesized through free radical copolymerization with acrylamide (AAm) and vinyl acetate (VA). The UCST behavior is due to a combination of hydrogen bonds and electrostatic potentials between copolymer chains. Turbidimetry, dynamic light scattering, and rheology studies were used to determine the phase transition and aggregation behavior. It is indicated that copolymer with 80% AAm has a phase transition temperature between 38 and 38.2 °C, which is suitable for releasing fever medicine. Also, the temperature gradient for the complete dissolution of the copolymer is 2 °C. The molecular dynamics simulations at a...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaderi, Saeed (Author) ; Ramazani, Ahmad (Supervisor) ; Haddadi, Arash (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Most used polymers, such as hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, are not able to withstand high levels of salinity and high temperature of the reservoirs. To overcome these problems, in this project, new types of microstructures based on modified acrylamide with hydrophilic groups (malic anhydride monomer) and hydrophobic groups (styrene monomer) using inversible mini-emulsion were synthesized. The structure of the synthesized terpolymer was investigated using methods of FT-IR and 1H NMR. The micro-structure and the particle-size of the terpolymer particles were studied with the scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and differential light scattering (DLS) method and the results showed that the average...

    Abstract
    A heterogeneous tungstate-based catalyst has been prepared for selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides in the presence of 30% H2O2. The catalyst was prepared via immobilization of high amounts of WO4 2− onto the cross-linked poly(ammonium ethyl acrylamide) coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). FT-IR, TEM, TGA, VSM, XRD, EDX, and CHN analysis were used for characterization of catalyst. Variety of sulfides successfully converted to the related sulfoxides using 1 mol% of catalyst at room temperature in high yields. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused up to 6 times without loss of activity  

    A thermodynamically-consistent large deformation theory coupling photochemical reaction and electrochemistry for light-responsive gels

    , Article Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids ; Volume 116 , July , 2018 , Pages 239-266 ; 00225096 (ISSN) Dehghany, M ; Zhang, H ; Naghdabadi, R ; Hu, Y ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2018
    Abstract
    Gels are composed of crosslinked polymer network and solvent molecules. When the main chain network is incorporated with functional groups that can undergo photo-chemical reaction upon light irradiation, the gel becomes light-responsive. Under irradiation, the photosensitive groups may undergo photo-ionization process and generate charges that are attached to the main chain or diffuse into the solvent. The newly generated ions disturb the osmotic balance of the gel medium. As a result, water molecules and mobile ions are driven into or out of the network to compensate the osmotic imbalance, which eventually leads to macroscopic swelling or shrinking of the gel. In this work, we develop a...
