Abstract

PURPOSE:A temperature-sensitive copolymer whose cloud point can be set over a wide range of temperature, comprising a copolymer of a specified unsaturated amide compound. CONSTITUTION:An unsaturated amide compound of the formula (wherein R1 is H or methyl, R2 is H or ethyl, R3 is ethyl or propyl, provided that R2 is H and R3 is propyl or both of R2 and R3 are ethyl when R1 is H; and R2 is H and R3 is propyl when R1 is methyl), e.g., N,N-diethylacrylamide or N-n-propylacrylamide, is copolymerized with other monomers (e.g., acrylamide, acrylic acid, or N,N-diethylmethacrylamide). By suitably selecting the monomer, it is possible to control the cloud point (a temperature at which an aqueous solution of the polymer becomes turbid when heated) of the obtained temperature-sensitive copolymer arbitrarily within the range of about -10-110 deg.C.

Although it cannot be stated uniformly as it varies depending on the type of polymer, in general, the entire solution first becomes white and translucent due to Kato, and then becomes cloudy. The temperature range from half-transparent to cloudy varies depending on the concentration and type of polymer, but is approximately 5 to 6 degrees Celsius.
less than This cloudy liquid generally exhibits the same appearance as an aqueous emuldimine solution, is white and opaque, and exists stably without phase separation if the temperature is kept above the critical temperature. However, depending on the concentration and type of polymer, after becoming cloudy,
Furthermore, with the passage of time, the white turbid substances may come together to form spherical or string-shaped precipitates, or may even be deposited on the walls of the vessel, leading to phase separation.

For hydrophilic monomers with strong hydrophilicity, the score increases by 4 points with a small amount of cooling, while with lipophilic monomers with strong lipophilic properties, the score decreases with the addition of a small amount. However, since there are many cases that deviate from this general rule, it is preferable to check various combinations.

Next, as a specific method for making the above temperature-sensitive copolymer insolubilized in water by heating, basically, the above copolymer is dissolved in water, and then it is heated to a heating medium having a temperature higher than the temperature at issue. All you have to do is make contact. Due to this contact, the solution becomes cloudy and the polymer becomes insolubilized. More specifically, the aqueous polymer solution may be placed in a normal container, sandwiched between plate-like or membrane-like bodies such as plates, sheets, or films, placed in a tube, or sandwiched between double tubes.
These media are fixed by a method such as forming microspheres such as beads, and are exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, far infrared rays, laser beams, etc., or brought into contact with a heating medium such as hot water or steam. The polymer can be insolubilized by heating it by blowing it into an aqueous solution, and as a result, the aqueous solution becomes cloudy and becomes white and opaque.
