The vulcanization process of elastomeric blends based on chlorinated aromatic nitrile-butadiene rubber (SKN-40M) has been studied in the present work. The structural parameters (molecular weight, plasticity, rigidity, number of network chains, cross-linked molecules) in thermovulcanizates were investigated on an example of nitrile-butadiene rubber blend with polyvinyl chloride using viscometry and the sol-gel process.

Melamine formaldehyde oligomers with peroxy groups (MFOP) have been synthesized based on melamine or urea and melamine in the presence of tert-butyl peroxymethanol or tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Zinc oxide was used as a catalyst. The effect of peroxide nature, ratio of the starting components and process time on the characteristics and yield of MFOP has been studied. The structure of the synthesized MFOP was confirmed by IR- and PMR-spectroscopy. The chemistry of the cross-linked structures formation was studied.

Cross-linked polymer films based on polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylamide have been prepared via radical cross-linking initiated by peroxide containing reactive copolymers. The influence of temperature, nature and concentration of cross-linking agents onto gel-fraction value and properties of polymer films has been studied. Obtained cross-linked polymer films are characterized by improved physico-mechanical properties that depend on the content of peroxide containing copolymer and on the presence of additional cross-linking agent.

A monocarboxylic derivative of Epidian-6 with free epoxy and carboxylic end groups (MCDER) has been synthesized using Epidian-6 epoxy resin and sebacic acid. The structure of MCDER was confirmed by a spectral analysis. The thermal stability of MCDER has been established and the formation of cross-linked films based on epoxy-oligomeric mixtures consisting of Epidian-5, TGM-3 oligoesteracrylate, and polyethylene polyamine has been studied in its presence. By means of IR spectroscopy, the chemistry of the mixtures formation has been established.

Cross-linked polymeric and nanocomposite films based on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and modified mineral nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite and silica have been obtained via radical cross-linking initiated by peroxide containing reactive copolymers. The influence of temperature and additional cross-linking agents on the peculiarities of curing process has been studied. The obtained results reveal that at high temperatures the dependence of film gel-fraction values on time has the extremal character.

In order to improve the properties of epoxy resins they are modified by the various compounds, in particular oligoesters. Compositions based on ED-20 epoxy resin and unsaturated oligoesters are structured in the presence of polyethylene polyamine (PEPA). The oligoester acts as a plasticizer that is not chemically bounded to the molecules of spatially crosslinked structure. It leads to the deterioration of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties during the working process of film based on epoxy-oligoester compositions.

The series of reactive peroxide macroinitiators (RC) based on acryl amide (AcAm), butyl methacrylate (BMA), maleic anhydride (MA) and peroxidic monomer 5-ter-butylperoxy-5-methyl-1-hexene-3-yne (PM), which can be used for biocompatible polymer cross-linking, were synthesized via radical copolymerization in organic solvent.

Досліджено вплив полімерного модифікатора полівінілхлориду на процес структурування ненасичених поліестерних смол. На підставі ротаційної віскозиметрії виявлено, що введення полівінілхлориду в кількості 2-5 мас.ч. пришвидшує наростання значення в’язкості досліджуваних систем, що обумовлено впливом полімерного модифікатора на характер міжмолекулярних взаємодій між компонентами системи. Встановлено, що введення полівінілхлориду в композиції на основі ненасичених поліестерних смол зменшує як час гелеутворення, так і час мікрогелеутворення.
