The microcrystalline cellulose grafting polymethylmethacrylate (MCC-g-PMMA) copolymer was successfully synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using ethanediamine as ligand in Ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl). The MCC-g-PMMA was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, SEM and GPC spectroscopies. The results confirmed that the PMMA had been covalently bonded to cellulose backbone. The molecular weight of graft copolymers linearly increased during the polymerization and presented a low polydispersity.

An ionic liquid supported catalytic system, chloromethylimidazole acetylacetonate Cobolt(Ⅱ) was successfully used in the RATRP of methyl methacrylate. The chemical structure of obtained PMMA was confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The polymerization process in the presence of ionic liquid was thoroughly investigated. The results revealed that this kind of initiator and catalyst system could promote RATRP of MMA with the desired characteristics, and the RATRP proceeded in a controlled manner as evidenced by kinetic studies.

Adhesives, such as hot-melt adhesives (HMAs), are widely used in the textile industry for bonding layers of materials and have replaced traditional sewing methods. The block copolymer is a common type of HMA that provides excellent physical features and mechanical properties compared with others. Acrylate-based monomers, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) were used as ingredients to form a linear block copolymer using atom transfer radical polymerization. MMA provides excellent cohesive strength, while 2-EHA provides good adhesion properties. An end-brominated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA-Br) macroinitiator was synthesized from a MMA monomer and initiator, with the best composition obtained by the addition of a 0.6 mol initiator. The macroinitiator had the lowest molecular weight with highest conversion (97%). The addition of a 0.3 mol macroinitiator showed the lowest molecular weight with the highest conversion of acrylic copolymer PMMA- b-poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (PEHA). The glass transition temperature increased with the addition of the macroinitiator concentration, from −43.7℃ to −37.6℃. The thermal stability was reduced with the addition of macroinitiator content, from 332.37℃ to 286.81℃. The shear strength and peel strength of the PMMA- b-PEHA HMAs on nylon fabrics were enhanced from 11.24 to 16.92 kg cm−2 and from 0.29 to 0.61 kg cm−1, respectively, and did not change significantly after being washed 50 times and then kept in low-temperature storage, with the addition of the macroinitiator concentration. The block copolymer PMMA- b-PEHA prepared in this study could be used as a HMA for nylon fabric bonding systems.
