SYNTHESIS AND BEHAVIOR OF THE POLYMER COVERING ON A SOLID-SURFACE .1.ATTACHMENT OF THE POLYMER INITIATOR TO THE SOLID-SURFACE

Attachment of the peroxide initiator of radical polymerization to the surface of various oxides due to the adsorption of reactive copolymers of peroxide monomer and maleic anhydride (PM-MA) was performed. Plate au adsorption amount of PM-MA depend mainly on the nature of the solve nt. It was found that adsorption is irreversible with respect to the s olvent. Measuring the exchange between the polymer in the adsorbed lay er and in solution, with the aid of a labeled polymer, it was shown th at adsorption is reversible with respect to the polymer. Studying the competitive adsorption of PM-MA with some other polymers showed that P M-MA, because of its high adsorption ability, could not be replaced by another polymer, but it could replace another polymer from the adsorb ent surface. A wetting technique was used to assess the behaviour of t he polymer covering formed with PM-MA.
