Multi-functional polymers used for personal care products can be synthesized by radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in alcohol/water solutions with non-functional monomers such as methyl acrylate (MA) and N-tert-butylacrylamide (t-BuAAm). However, solvents capable of forming or disrupting hydrogen bonds cause the polymerization kinetics of these monomers to deviate from their polymerization behaviour in bulk and non-polar solvents. In this work, a previous mechanistic model developed for MA/t-BuAAm copolymerization is extended to represent the terpolymerization system MA/t-BuAAm/AA. The additional kinetic coefficients required for the system are estimated from fitting to AA homopolymerizations and AA/MA and AA/t-BuAAm copolymerizations conducted in an ethanol/water solution. In-situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to follow monomer conversions and composition drift behaviour, with the molar mass distributions of the polymer products characterized by size-exclusion chromatography. Although AA is more reactive than MA in non-polar solvents, the reactivities of the two monomers equalize under the experimental conditions examined. Thus, the batch and semi-batch terpolymerization data collected are represented equally well by a reduced acrylate/t-BuAAm copolymerization model and the full terpolymerization implementation. 相似文献
A β-2-methoxyethyl α-3-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl itaconate (1) was synthesized successfully as a novel amphiphilic itaconate monomer, and its radical homopolymerization and copolymerization
with styrene (St) were investigated. The polymerization rate (Rp) is expressed with Rp = k[1]2.73[AIBN]0.51. Overall activation energy in the radical homopolymerization was determined to be 52.9 kJ/mol. The 1 copolymerized with St in bulk in a highly alternating tendency. The Q, e values of the 1 were obtained to be 1.05 and 0.69, respectively, and the 1 was found to be a conjugative and electron-accepting monomer. Membranes containing the 1 unit, prepared by the copolymerization of 1 with N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and by the terpolymerization of 1, NVP, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, showed higher oxygen permeability than corresponding ones without the 1 unit, and also they have better transparency than membranes containing 3-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl methacrylate
unit. 相似文献
The complexes of methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA) and n-butyl acrylate (BA) with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) were prepared at 300 K and found to be polar in nature. The viscosity and density of the complexes increased while the tendency to form a binary complex decreased with increase in size of the alkyl substituents of the acrylate monomers. The copolymerization of MA and BA with styrene (Sty) followed a cross-propagation mechanism, whereas the copolymerization of EA with Sty followed a radical-complex mechanism in the presence of their complexes with ZnCl2. 相似文献
Terpolymerization of propylene oxide (PO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and maleic anhydride (MA) was carried out by using a polymer-supported bimetallic complex (PBM) as a catalyst. A degradable aliphatic poly(propylene carbonate maleate) (PPCM) was synthesized, and determined by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DSC, TGA and WAXD measurements. The influences of various reaction conditions such as molar ratio of the monomers, reaction time and reaction temperature on the terpolymerization progress were investigated. The results showed that MA was inserted into the backbone of CO2–PO successfully. The viscosity, glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature of the terpolymers were much higher than those of poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC). Because of the existence of the MA ester unit, PPCM had stronger degradability than PPC in a pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered solution. MA offered an ester structural unit that gave the terpolymers remarkable degradability. And the degradation rate of the backbone increased with the insertion of MA into the terpolymers. 相似文献
Hydrophobically modified polyacrylamides (HMPAMs) are used as rheological modifier and thickening agent, for example, in enhanced oil recovery, drilling fluids and dying technology. In this work, acrylamide/ styrene (AM/St) copolymers and AM/St/ sodium styrene sulfonate (AM/St/SSS) terpolymer were synthesized by heterogeneous and micellar radical copolymerization methods. Final copolymer composition was determined using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. In comparison to initial mole fraction of St (0.0137), mole fraction of St incorporated into the copolymer chains for heterogeneous sample decreased to 0.0093 while that for micellar sample increased to 0.01386. Microstructures of the synthesized samples were investigated by calculating sequence length of the hydrophobic (St) and hydrophilic monomers. Depending on the polymerization conditions, viscosity- average molecular weight of the synthesized samples varied in the range of 4?×?105 g.mol?1 and 1?×?106 g.mol?1. In the heterogeneous copolymerization method, St was incorporated randomly into the copolymer chains while in micellar copolymerization method, a multi-block distribution of St in the copolymer chain was observed. Strong thickening behavior was observed by increasing copolymer concentration and NaCl concentration. Among other co- and terpolymers, AM/St/SSS revealed the best rheological and thermal properties. Shear thinning behavior was observed for all co- and terpolymers. It was found that rheological properties of the synthesized HMPAMs can be affected significantly by the microstructural parameters and hydrophobic interchain nano-association. 相似文献
Summary: This work deals with modeling the terpolymerization of styrene, α‐methylstyrene and methyl methacrylate in the presence of an inhibitor. The model used is a “tendency model” based on the kinetics of the complex elementary chemical reactions both in the aqueous phase and in the particles. It considers the reversible propagation of α‐methylstyrene and the main physical phenomena occurring during the process, i.e., (i) partitioning of monomers, surfactant and inhibitor between the aqueous phase, polymer particles, monomer droplets and micelles; (ii) homogeneous and micellar nucleation; (iii) radical absorption and desorption; (iv) gel and glass effects. The main kinetic parameters of the model are estimated on the basis of batch experimental data in order to be able to describe the complete picture of this complex process. The model can be used to predict (with good precision) the global monomer conversion, number and weight‐average molecular weight, the average diameter and number of polymer particles and the glass transition temperature, and consequently to study the effects of AMS on conversion and terpolymer and latex characteristics.

In the present work, 1,3,5-tribenzylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-CrCl3 (TAC-CrCl3) complex was supported on Stöber silica and on commercial porous SiO2. Ethylene polymerization and copolymerization were carried with methylaluminoxane (MAO) as co-catalyst. In the polymerization of ethylene, the silica-supported TAC-CrCl3 catalysts exhibit activity values from 200 to 374 kg/molCr/h with Stöber silica being the best. In the co-polymerization of ethylene with 1-hexene, the yields of polymer are 34–117 kg/molCr/h; the highest value is again obtained with Stöber silica as a support. The polymers were characterized by X-ray diffraction, solid-state 13C NMR, viscosimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The polymers have molecular weights of 23,000–40,000 g/mol; crystallinity varies from 60 to 68% and melting points in the range 125–131 °C. 相似文献
Expressions are presented for pre- and after-effects in some photo-initiated copolymerizations leading to strongly alternating copolymers. The mechanisms considered include alternation arising from dominant cross-propagation and from homopolymerization of a ternary complex containing both monomers, as well as from a generalized version of the former in which the ternary complex is involved in propagation. Determination of pre- and after-effects by dilatometry is discussed, in particular the necessity of allowing for thermal perturbations during polymerization, which may easily exceed the quantities being measured. A method for making corrections for these perturbations is developed and two ways of plotting experimental data for this purpose are described. In both pre- and after-effects data are plotted in the same diagram to increase the precision. The techniques are applied to the copolymerization of methyl acrylate and styrene, and of methyl methacrylate and styrene, in the presence of the Lewis acid ethylaluminium sesquichloride. Initiation was effected by light with λ=365 nm. The resulting values of kbak′−1t(kba′k′t are the velocity coefficients for propagation of a styryl radical with an acrylate type monomer (complexed with the Lewis acid), and for second order termination, respectively) agree satisfactorily with literature values when comparison is possible (i.e. for the system Et3Al2Cl3/MA/St). For this case, combination of the above with literature data on steady-state measurements permits evaluation of the propagation coefficients: kba=5.6×103, kab=37.3×103 mol−1dm3s−1. Progress in the kinetic analysis of these copolymerizations is currently impeded by the shortage of quantitative information about the binary and ternary equilibria involved. 相似文献
To enhance the dispersibility of clay in polypropylene (PP) matrix, PP-g-(maleic anhydride/styrene) (MA/ST) was prepared as a compatibilizer by graft copolymerization of maleic anhydride (MA) and styrene (ST) with PP. The addition of ST was known to be effective in improving the graft degree. PP/clay nanocomposites with the compatibilizer were prepared by melt intercalation. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks of (0 0 1) plane of the organo-modified montmorillonite (O-MMT) were shifted to lower angles by an addition of PP-g-(MA/ST), indicating the intercalation capability of PP-g-(MA/ST) in the silicate layers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) photographs showed that the O-MMT in the presence of PP-g-(MA/ST) was intercalated and partly exfoliated during melt mixing. The addition of O-MMT and PP-g-(MA/ST) improved the thermal stability, tensile and rheological properties of the nanocomposites. 相似文献
The radical copolymerization of the two systems benzylacrylate/methylmethacrylate (r13 = 0.34, r31 = 1.7) and benzylacrylate/styrene (r12 = 0.25, r21 = 0.50) at 60 °C in bulk is investigated. With the obtained reactivity ratios and those for the system styrene/methylmethacrylate known from literature is then shown that the terpolymerization equation of ALFREY and GOLDFINGER is also applicable to the system benzylacrylate/styrene/methylmethacrylate. 相似文献
