Abstract
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.
Description
Myrcene is a bio derived monoacylic monoterpene which derived from plant oils. Isoprene structure of that compound gives elasticity to the materials in which myrcene used. PolyHIPEs containing high percentage of myrcene also behaves like a sorbent in the presence of variable solvents. In this study, sorbent capacity of myrcene based polyHIPEs were investigated.
