Levot, R G

The feasibility of using radiation graft copolymerization for the preparation of supports suitable for the heterogenization of catalysts was examined. To bind metal complexes, radiation graft copolymers of p-styryldiphenylphosphine with a number of trunk polymers were produced. Similarly enzyme immobilization was successful on chemically modified p-nitrostyrene copolymers. Conditions for ..gamma.. and/or UV radiation grafting of styrene, p-styryldiphenylphosphine, vinyldiphenylphosphine and p-nitrostyrene to a number of trunk polymers were established. New techniques to chemically modify styrene copolymers and to analyze the resultant catalysts were adapted from traditional methods. Procedures to assess the catalytic activity of the heterogenized catalysts were also developed from techniques used in conventional catalytic research.
