| Abstract: | An efficient, simple and facile process, i.e., suspension grafting polymerization combined with melt-blown technique, was employed to synthesize Polypropylene-g-(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) nonwoven fabrics PP-g-(AA-co-AM) nonwovens]. In this study, the grafting mechanism and the effect of synthesis parameters on grafting percentage (GP) were investigated. The as-synthesized products were characterized by melt flow rate (MFR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), water contact angle (WCA) and thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA). Besides, the uptake properties of metal ions (i.e., Ba2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Ca2+) on the PP-g-(AA-co-AM) nonwovens in dynamic condition were studied. Results of FTIR showed that AA and AM were successfully grafted onto the PP surface. The decrease in WCAs of the grafted nonwovens with the increasing GP indicated that (AA-co-AM) side chains existed as the hydrophilic component. TGA results revealed that no significant change in thermal stability was found in grafted PP samples. The synthesis experiments showed that the highest GP was obtained at grafting time 3 h, water 3 ml/g, xylene 15 wt%, benzoyl peroxide 0.5 wt%, AA, AM 30 wt% and AA: AM 1:1, with a GP of 16.7 %, and a grafting efficiency of 67 %. However, MFR measurement and SEM image demonstrated that PP-g-(AA-co-AM) nonwovens with the highest GP showed almost no mechanical strength existed between filaments resulting in the occurrence of deformation and contraction of nonwovens, and breaking up into small pieces. Comprehensively, the optimal GP was 8.7 %, and the corresponding PP-g-(AA-co-AM) nonwovens exhibited higher metal ions uptake capacity than pristine PP nonwovens in the dynamic adsorption process. |
