Chemistry of copper(II) carboxylates at polyethylene solution-interfaces Conference Paper

abstract

• We have investigated the chemistry of polyethylene functionalized by what we call entrapment functionalization. A long range goal is to evaluate what changes in chemical behavior occur when an organic functional group is located at a polyethylene-solvent interface. We discuss some of the chemistry of metal carboxylates at such an interface using UV-visible, fluorescence and ESCA spectroscopies to characterize copper(II) carboxylates. The synthesis of copper(II) carboxylated oligomers, introduction of copper(II) onto these oligomers and subsequent entrapment in virgin polyethylene were accomplished.
