I. Pantchev et al., PREPARATION AND HYDROLYSIS OF POLY(ETHYLENE-GRAFT-OXAZOLINE)S AND POLY(VINYL ACETATE-GRAFT-OXAZOLINE)S, Reactive & functional polymers, 32(3), 1997, pp. 241-248
Polyvinyl acetate-co-polyvinyl tosylates and polyethylene-co-polyvinyl
tosylates were synthesized via tosylation of poly(vinyl acetate-co-vi
nyl alcohol) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol). Grafting of 2-methyl
-2-oxazoline and 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline was performed using polytosylate
s as macroinitiators. Appropriate hydrolyzed analogues were prepared.
The swelling properties and sorption capacity towards Cu2+ and Fe3+ of
the graft copolymers and their corresponding hydrolyzed products were
investigated.
