High-temperature acrylate polymerizations are technically relevant, but yet not fully understood. In particular the mechanism and the kinetics of the thermal self-initiation is a topic of current research. To obtain more detailed information the conversion dependence of the polymerization rate, rbr, is determined via in-line DSC and FT-NIR spectroscopy for reactions in bulk and in solution at temperatures ranging from 80 to 160 °C. Solution polymerizations revealed that dioxane is associated with the highest rbr, while aromatic solvents result in the lowest values of rbr. Interestingly, rbr for polymerizations in solution with dioxane depends on the actual monomer concentration at a given time in the system, but is not depending on the initial monomer concentration. The overall rate of polymerization in bulk and in solution is well represented by an equation with three or four parameters, respectively, being estimated by multiple linear regression and the temperature as additional parameter.

The interfacial tension, initial monomer concentration, and reaction probability can greatly influence the microscopic characteristics of the Janus nanoparticle (JNP) structure. The asymmetric initial monomer concentration in solution and the reaction probability can be used to control the syntheses of asymmetric JNPs.

The results of this study show that even at the highest initial monomer concentration (IMC) complete cyclization of polymer chains can be achieved at 100% conversion.

Inverse emulsion copolymerization of DMDAAC with AM has been investigated by the dilatometer technique using the mixture of Span-80 and Tween-80 as the composite emulsifier and 2,2’-azobis (2-methylpropionconidine) dihydro chloride as the initiator. In inverse emulsion copolymerization, the influences of the concentrations of monomers, emulsifier and initiator and initial temperature on polymerization rate and the intrinsic viscosity of polymer have been examined. Its kinetics can be expressed as,. The overall activation energy for the rate of polymerization was determined with a dilatometer as 20.33 kJ/mol over the temperature range 35-55°C.

AbstractA copolymer of methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid to be used as a polymeric surfactant was synthesized by emulsifier-free semi-batch emulsion copolymerization. Emulsion polymerization of styrene was carried out at 50°C utilizing the ammonium salt of the copolymer as the polymeric emulsifier and potassium persulfate as the initiator, respectively. Both the number of polymer particles produced and the rate of polymerization were proportional to the 0.6 power of the initial emulsifier concentration, to the 0.4 power of the initial initiator concentration, and independent of the initial monomer concentration, respectively. These relationships are almost the same as those observed in the emulsion polymerization of styrene conducted using conventional surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulfate as the emulsifier and potassium persulfate as the initiator.
