Abstract:
A series of vinyl acetate (VAc)-divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymeric microspheres were prepared by suspension copolymerization. The surface hydroxyl group onto the VAc-DVA copolymeric microspheres can be obtained by saponifiction reaction on their surface. By reaction between the reactive chorine group of a dye and the hydroxyl groups on the VAc-DVB copolymeric microspheres, cibacron blue F3G-A, as an affinity ligand, was covalently immobilized on the surface of the VAc-DVB copolymeric microspheres. The characterization of surface functionalizationed VAc-DVB copolymeric microspheres was studied by means of FTIR and diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy. The results indicate that DR-FTIR spectra give out more detailed information of the modified microspheres' surface than FTIR spectra does.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
