Description
Poly(magnesium acrylate) and poly(zirconyl acrylate) have been formed by chelating the magnesium ion and the zirconyl ion onto poly(acrylic acid). The PAA is usually neutralized by addition of sodium hydroxide before the synthesis process. The structures and characterisitics of these polymers are studied by various analytical methods such as thermal analysis, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. The formation of these polymers is verified and their structures are determined. In addition, a preliminary attempt was carried out to make an advanced structural ceramic from a mixture of poly(magnesium acrylate) and poly(zirconyl acrylate).
