Abstract

Crosslinked 1-octene-isodecyl acrylate copolymers were synthesized and evaluated for oil-absorbency application. The copolymer was crosslinked at different concentrations of ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) crosslinkers via catalytic initiation or by electron-beam irradiation at dose rate 80 kGy. The concentration of both crosslinkers was varied from 0.5% to 2%. The effect of crosslinking conditions, such as crosslinker concentration, method of polymerization and monomers concentration on conversion and gel fraction was examined through an oil-absorption test using petroleum crude oil. It was found that, the oil absorbency was influenced mainly by the degree of crosslinking and the hydrophobicity of the copolymer units. The final equilibrium oil content, volume fraction of polymer and swelling capacity were determined at 298 K. The effective crosslinking density Ve, the average molecular weight between the crosslinks Mc and the polymer-toluene interaction parameter were determined from stress–strain measurements. The crosslinking efficiencies of EGDA and EGDMA towards copolymers were determined.
