Study of Nitration of Hyperbranched Polyglycidols

详细

The nitration of hyperbranched polyglycidols was studied. It was confirmed that there is no destruction of the polymeric chain when the nitration reaction is performed. The influence exerted by the molecular mass of polyglycidols on the degree of substitution of hydroxy groups in polyglycidol by nitrate groups was determined. The dependences of the degree of substitution of hydroxy groups on the reaction conditions and duration were found. It was shown that the fundamental aspects found in the study can be used to synthesize polyglycidyl nitrates with controllable degree of substitution from polyglycidols with various molecular masses.
