Polymer Sonochemistry: Controlling the Structure and Properties of Macromolecules

  • Chapter
Sonochemistry and Sonoluminescence

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 524))

Abstract

Since the pioneering work in the 1970’s and 1980’s by Boudjouk, Suslick, Luche and others on Grignard, Barbier, organolithium and similar reactions, the use of ultrasound to accelerate, control and improve the yield of chemical reactions has become commonplace. It is therefore surprising that there is relatively little activity in polymer sonochemistry, particularly when realising that the application to polymer systems considerably predates other chemical applications and originates from the 1920’s and 1930’s when the reduction in the viscosity of solutions of natural polymers such as agar, starch and gelatine on sonication was noted by several workers [1–3]. Interest in polymer sonochemistry has steadily increased over the past few years [4] and this paper will pick out some of the main themes of this work and attempt to predict some of the emerging areas which will become important in the future.
