Özet
In this Study, chemical modification reactions of polystyrenes with different molecular weights with maleic and acetic anhydrides in the presence of a catalyst [BF3 . O(C2H5)(2)] were examined. The number of polyfunctional groups bound to the polymer structure changed according to the molecular weight of the polymer, and more functional groups were bound to lower molecular weight polystyrenes. The bound functional groups and their amounts were determined with spectral and chemical analysis methods. The effects of the molecular weights of the polystyrenes on the chemical modification kinetics with magnetic and acetic anhydrides in the presence of BF3 . O(C2H5)(2) were examined. The kinetic parameters of the reaction and its activation energy were calculated. The higher the molecular weight of polystyrene was, the lower its rate of modification was and the greater its activation energy was; the lower the molecular weight of polystyrene was, the higher its rate of modification was and the lower its activation energy was.
