Highly reactive penta-coordinate organic silicon was prepared by the reaction of silica with ethylene glycol and potassium hydroxide, which reacted with 4-vinylbenzyl chloride to synthesize a new 4-vinyl benzyl tetra-coordinate silicate (VBTCS), and the new monomer was homo-polymerized and copolymerized with styrene and methyl acrylate via free radical polymerization, respectively. Tetra-coordinate silicon monomer, homo-polymer, and copolymers were characterized by IR, EA, TG, DSC, GPC etc.

A new variety of pH-sensitive polymeric hydrogels (IAE) have been developed and evaluated as biocompatible hydrogels using synergetic combinations of itaconic acid (IA), acrylic acid (AA), and ethylene glycol (EG) in water medium by free radical polymerization.

Photo-initiated free radical polymerization of methyl acrylate in aqueous solution is described. Using mainly light of wavelength 3650 Å and the ion pairs Fe3+OH− and Fe3+Cl− as photosensitizers the kinetics of polymerization were investigated by studying the effect of the variation of (i) intensity of light, (ii) concentration of monomer, (iii) fraction of light absorbed by the ion pair, and (iv) ferrous ion accumulating in, or initially added to, the system on (a) molecular weight of polymer, (b) the rate of disappearance of monomer, and (c) the rate of production of ferrous ion. The results have been analyzed in the light of a reaction scheme involving (1) a primary photochemical process and a dark back reaction, (2) initiation of polymerization by the primary product Fe2+OH or Fe2+Cl, (3) dissociation of the primary product, (4) a secondary dark back reaction, (5) initiation by a free radical, (6) propagation, and (7) termination. Examination of the experimental results in the light of the reaction scheme indicated that the initiation of polymerization was due to OH or Cl free radicals formed by the dissociation of the primary product and that termination occurred by combination of growing polymer chains. Some expressions involving specific rate constants have been evaluated.
