AbstractA flow reactor for the complex reaction network of the free radical solution polymerization of n-butyl acrylate was optimized by a combination of kinetic modeling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and additive manufacturing. CFD was used to model a flow reactor with SMX mixing elements. An optimized geometry was 3D-printed from polypropylene. The modeled residence time behavior was compared to relevant experiments, giving a validation for the flow behavior of the reactor. A kinetic model for the free radical solution polymerization of n-butyl acrylate (BA) was in addition implemented into the CFD model. It was used to predict the polymerization behavior in the flow reactor and the resulting product properties. The experimental and computational results were in acceptable agreement.

Using free radical solution polymerization technique and Mannich reaction, five different polyacrylamides with similar molecular weight but variable charge densities were synthesized. High molecular weight polyacrylamides were synthesized using potassium persulfate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine system as initiators. This was achieved by increasing the concentration of acrylamide monomer. They were then characterized by infrared spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and glass transition temperature measurement. These compounds with various cationic charge densities from 48.2, 161.7, 355, 425 and 485 C/g were prepared through Mannich reaction. The results indicate, by increasing the acidity of the polyacrylamide solution using sulfuric acid, the pH of the polyacrylamide solution decreases correspondingly. As a result, the positive charges increased resulting in the enrichment of charge densities.

Microcapsules containingn-octadecane (MicroC18) withn-octadecyl methacrylate (ODMA)-methacrylic acid (MAA) copolymer shell were fabricated through phase separation method, in which the shell-forming copolymers synthesized by free-radical solution polymerization. Meanwhile, theses copolymers were employed as the surfactant during microencapsulation. The crystallization temperature and crystallinity degree of comb-like copolymer display a gradual decrease with an increase the molar ratio of MAA. MicroC18 with spherical profiles and the diameter ranging from 3 to 20 μm were fabricated. In addition, the system pH value plays an important role in the formation process of microcapsules and the optimum value of pH in the range of 8.5-10.5.
