Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Neste trabalho, copolímeros à base de acrilonitrila e divinilbenzeno foram sintetizados, utilizando a técnica de polimerização em suspensão, na presença de três agentes porogênicos diferentes (álcool isoamílico, metil-etil-cetona e tolueno). Esses copolímeros foram caracterizados por meio da determinação da densidade aparente, do volume e diâmetro de poros, por microscopia ótica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura e foram avaliados quanto à capacidade de inchamento em heptano e tolueno. O principal intuito dessa pesquisa foi correlacionar a formação da estrutura porosa desses materiais com os principais parâmetros de síntese (grau de diluição dos monômeros, poder solvatante do diluente e teor do agente de reticulação). Desses parâmetros, o que mais influenciou na formação da estrutura porosa desses materiais foi o poder solvatante do diluente. A teoria dos parâmetros de solubilidade de Hansen e Hildebrand foi utilizada com o intuito de fazer uma previsão das características porosas dos copolímeros à base de acrilonitrila e divinilbenzeno sintetizados na presença de três diluentes diferentes. Dentre esses diluentes, o álcool isoamílico foi o pior solvente para os copolímeros de AN-DVB, em todos os teores de agente de reticulação e em todas as diluições utilizadas. O tolueno foi o melhor solvente para os copolímeros que contêm altos teores de agente de reticulação. Estas observações estão de acordo com as previsões dos parâmetros de solubilidade de Hansen e Hildebrand. A metil-etil-cetona foi o melhor solvente para os copolímeros que contêm teores intermediários de agente de reticulação. Esta observação só está condizente com o parâmetro de solubilidade de Hansen. / In this work, acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers were synthesized using the technique of suspension polymerization in the presence of three different solvents (isoamyl alcohol, methyl-ethyl-ketone and toluene). These copolymers were characterized by apparent density, pore volume and pore diameter, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and were evaluated for their ability to swell in heptane and toluene. The principal aim of this research was to correlate the porous structure formation of these materials, with the main synthesis parameters (degree of dilution, solvating power of the diluent and crosslinking degree). Among these parameters, the most important on the formation of the materials porous structure was the solvating power of the diluent. The theory of solubility parameters of Hansen and Hildebrand was used in order to make a prediction of the porous characteristics of acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers synthesized in the presence of three different diluents. Among these solvents, the isoamyl alcohol was the worst solvent for acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers, at all levels of crosslinking degree and at all dilutions used. Toluene was the best solvent for the copolymers containing high levels crosslinking degree. These observations are consistent with the predictions of the solubility parameters of Hansen and Hildebrand. The methyl-ethyl-ketone was the best solvent for the copolymers containing intermediate crosslinking degree. This observation is only consistent with the Hansen solubility parameters.
