    Development of terpene based sorbents via emulsion templating: Synthesis and swelling behavior
    (Reactive and Functional Polymers, 2021-07) Kekevi, Burcu, Emine Hilal Mert
    Polymeric sorbent materials exhibiting excellent swelling capacity were developed using high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating approach. Precursor HIPEs were prepared by using continuous phases that composed of mixtures of β-myrcene (monomer) and 1,3-butanediol dimethacrylate (crosslinker). The influence of β-myrcene concentration on the emulsion stability and crosslinking was investigated. Swelling behaviors of resulting polyHIPEs in different solvents were studied. It was found that the maximum swelling capacities were reached 713%, 667% and 310% in benzene, toluene and hexane, respectively.

    Preparation of hypercrosslinked PolyHIPEs by using a bio-derived monomer
    (European Polymer Journal, 2021-06-05) Kekevi, Burcu, Emine Hilal Mert
    The interest on adapting bio-derived species to polymer synthesis has been increased in the last decade. Terpenes that can be obtained by extracting from the essential oils of tree sap and citrus fruit have an important place on this subject. In this respect, β-myrcene, which is a promising linear conjugated diene, is attracting the interest of researchers. However, the free radical copolymerization of β-myrcene is difficult mainly because of concurrent Diels-Alder reactions with electron-deficient vinyl monomers via their s-cis forms. Here, we developed polyHIPEs from the high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) of β-myrcene. For this purpose, HIPEs were prepared by using either 50 or 40 vol% of β-myrcene in the continuous phase. Meanwhile, the influence of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC), divinylbenzene (DVB), and 1,3-butanedioldiacrylate (BDDA) on the copolymerization crosslinking of β-myrcene within precursor HIPEs was explored. For this purpose, HIPEs were prepared by altering the amount of comonomers between 0 and 60 vol% of the total monomer composition. The resulting HIPEs showed excellent stability. However, crosslinking could not be achieved in all cases, due to the altered monomer composition. On the other hand, crosslinked polyHIPEs were hypercrosslinked with Friedel-Crafts alkylation method. Characterization of the resulting materials showed the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area (δBET) of the polyHIPEs was increased from 2.25 m2 g−1 to 60.18 m2 g−1 by hypercrosslinking.
