The molecular weight characteristics of the polymer obtained by suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of polymeric surfactants - (co)polymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, sodium salt of methyl methacrylate copolymer with methacrylic acid and acrylamide copolymer with acrylonitrile and acrylic acid are studied. It was found that the highly dispersed fraction (0.5–2 μm) of polymethyl methacrylate has an increased molecular weight and even at a content less than 1% has a noticeable eff ect on the average molecular weight. It is shown that an eff ective way to reduce the content of polymer particles 0.5–2 μm is the use of a dispersant, in which the colloidal solubility of methyl methacrylate is minimal.

Spherical foamable particles were synthesized by suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene in the presence of a blowing agent. When the surrounding temperature was high enough to vaporize the blowing agent and soften the polymer shell, the particles were expanded due to pressure difference across the shell. The effects of initiator and crosslinker concentration on the particle size, average molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution of synthesized copolymer, pentane content and expansion properties (density, residual pentane, and dimensional stability of pre-expanded beads) of expandable particles were investigated. The results showed that the expansion behavior of the particles was dependent on molecular weight of the matrix polymer and size of the synthesized particles. In a constant copolymer molecular weight, the pre-expanded bead density decreased with increasing of particle size whereas it increased with molecular weight in a constant particle size. Moreover, the crosslinker improved dimensional stability of the pre-expanded beads.

2-hydroxyl-3-sulfonic acid sodium salt-propyl lacrylate was synthesized through the three-step process (sulfonation, ring-closing reaction, and esterification) by using epichlorohydrin as the starting material. The structure of oxiranemethane sulfonic acid sodium salt and end product 2-hydroxyl-3-sulfonic acid sodium salt-propyl lacrylate was identified by FTIR and Melting point. The influence factors of the synthesis process were studied. The optimal condition of the synthesis of ring-closing reaction and esterification was gained. Through the synthesis method, a corresponding synthesis of lauric acid, 14 acid, palmitic acid, 18 acid were gained. Then they were on the surface tension tests to determine the critical micelle concentration.
