AbstractThe kinetics of free-radical copolymerization and terpolymerization of acrylamide (AAm), N, N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA) and methacrylic acid (MA) in the inverse water/monomer/cyclohexane/Tween 85 miniemulsion was investigated. Polymerizable sterically-stable miniemulsions were formulated in cyclohexane as a continuous medium. Polymerizations are very fast and reach the final conversion within several minutes. The dependence of the polymerization rate vs. conversion is described by a curve with two nonstationary rate intervals. The maximum rate of polymerization slightly increases with increasing concentration of crosslinking monomer (MBA) and strongly decreases by the addition of MA. The rate of polymerization is inversely proportional to the 0.9th and 1.8th power of the particle concentration without and with MA, respectively. The number of polymer particles is inversely proportional to the 0.18th and 0.13th power of MBA concentration. The kinetic and colloidal parameters of the miniemulsion polymerization are discussed in terms of microemulsion polymerization model.

A series of semi-interpenetrating polymer materials of poly (vinyl alcohol)/poly (N, N-diethylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid)(PVA/PDM) were synthesized by free radical copolymerization techniques and semi-interpenetrating polymer network techniques at room temperature with ammonium persulfate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylene diamide as initiators and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker. The interior morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that PVA introduced PDM materials have interconnected porous network structures. The release behaviors of the model drug, aminophylline, are found dependent on material composition and environmental temperature, which suggests that these materials have potential application as intelligent release carriers.

The free radical copolymerization kinetics of polyethylenglycol allylether (APEG) with acrylic acid (AA) had been studied in aqueous solution through using ammonium persulfate (APS) and 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as initiators. The structure of polycarboxylate superplasticizer had been characterized by IR and 1H-NMR. The rate of copolymerization was proportional to the molar ratio of monomers (AA:APEG) to the power of 0.4405, and to the amount of initiator (1.5%APS-2%H2O2, mass ratio to monomers) to the power of 0.7819, respectively. The overall observed activation energy of copolymerization was 45.048 kJ/mol. The kinetic relationship of copolymerization reaction of APEG with AA had been established as follow: Rp∝[APEG/AA]0.4405[APS-30%H2O2]0.7819e-5418/T. The temperature and initiator were main influencing factors on polymerization reaction.
