ABSTRAK
ABSTRACT
In this research, sulfonated styrene/ethylene-butylene ABA block copolymer have been prepared
using gas phase sulfonation technique This study begin with recrystallization styrene / ethylene-
butylene block copolymer ABA and subsequent sulfonation recrystallization results in the gas phase
at room temperature with different reaction time The results showed that the styrene / ethylene-
butylene styrene ABA block copolymers can be sulfonated with a gas phase sulfonation technique for
30 seconds to produce S-SEBS. Infrared spectra obtained showed that the sulfonation process has
1
occurred with the absorption at wave numbers around 1040 and 1179 cm- sulfonic groups in the
-1
sample S-SEBS. Absorption at wave number 1040 cm indicate the presence of vibration tensile
(stretching) symmetric S=O from the group of sulfonate, also ties sulphonate group on the aromatic
-1
ring S-SEBS (benzene substituted), while the wave number 1179 cm indicates the presence of
-1
vibration tensile (stretching) asymmetric S=O. The emergence of spectra at wave number 1010 cm
indicate the presence of S-O stretch vibration. Meanwhile spectra appearing at a wavelength of 1640
-1
cm shows the C=C stretch vibration of aromatic ring. In addition the spectra at wave number
-1
around 2900 cm is a C-H stretch vibration
-1
of alk anes S-SEBS, whereas at wave number 1480 cm is a C-H bending vibration of alk anes
S-SEBS.
