POLYMER
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION
Synthesis and characterization of multiblock & random
co-polymers of acrylamide having hydrophobe moiety, and the
influence of polymer structure on recovery and selectivity of
proteins into two phase aqueous system.
·
Synthesis of the comonomer having hydrophobic unit.
·
NMR and
FTIR analysis of the synthesized comonomer.
·
Synthesis of multiblock and random water soluble copolymers of
acrylamide with hydrophobic comonomer (like phenethylacrlamide &
p-methoxystyrene,
etc.) that gives a remarkable reduction in surface tension and
also an increase in viscosity.
·
Qualitative NMR analysis of the synthesized copolymers.
·
Characterization of copolymer by viscosity measurements
molecular weight calculations.
·
Formation of Binodal Curve & Tie Lines by making two phase
system of the synthesized copolymer with polyethelenglycol & the
quantitative fractional analysis of both the phases by NMR.
·
Analysis of the protein separated in either phase by UV
spectrophotometer.
