Copolymerization at high conversion when the concentration of one monomer does not change

Exact equations and several computer programs were developed for use in studies on copolymerizations carried to high conversion when the concentration of one of the monomers (A) remains constant. Simple ACSL® and DESIRE® programs are described for simulating such copolymerizations, and their output was used to test programs and procedures that were developed to evaluate monomer reactivity ratios for such copolymerization systems. Based on an integrated form of the copolymer equation, Excel® and Fortran programs were developed for evaluating monomer reactivity ratios from information about initial monomer compositions, copolymer compositions, and the fractions of the second monomer (B) that reacted. A graphical procedure for evaluating monomer reactivity ratios from such data was also developed. A previous program developed for calculating information about monomer sequence distributions in copolymers was modified so that it would apply to copolymerization at high conversion when the concentration of one monomer remains constant. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Copolymerization of ethylene with a homologous series of vinyl esters

The effect of the alkyl group on the relative reactivity of a homologous series of vinyl esters (2) has been studied with ethylene (1) as reference monomer, tert-butyl alcohol as solvent, at 62°C and 35 kg/cm². The experimental method was based on frequent measurement of the monomer feed composition throughout the copolymerization reaction by means of quantitative gas-chromatographic analysis. Highly accurate monomer reactivity ratios were estimated in a statistically justified manner by a nonlinear least-squares method applied to the integrated copolymer equation. The reactivity of the vinyl ester monomers towards an ethylene radical increased with decreasing electron-with-drawing ability of the ester group. All vinyl ester radicals considered turned out to have the same preference for their own monomer over ethylene (constant r₂ = 1.50). Reactivity ratios are discussed in terms of the Q–e scheme and the Taft relation. It appeared that chiefly polar factors contribute to the observed relative reactivity, while probably resonance stabilization only plays a minor part. Steric hindrance seems to impair monomer reactivity, only from vinyl pivalate on. Relative reactivities of the vinyl esters are compared with literature values, where other reference monomers have been used.     

Estimation of Reactivity Ratios from Multicomponent Copolymerizations

Abstract

The composition of the copolymer formed from n monomers in addition polymerization can be expressed in terms of the monomer feed composition and n(n - 1) binary reactivity ratios, according to the familiar simple copolymer model. Reactivity ratios are determined experimentally from cor-responding feed and monomer compositions in binary co-polymerizations. This article reports methods for deriving such reactivity ratios directly from multicomponent polymerization data. Analytical solution of the multi-component copolymer equations is not feasible because of the limited number of experimental points and experimental uncertainty in the copolymer composition. Computer-assisted procedures have been developed to estimate re-activity rates by optimizing the fit of predicted and experimental copolymer compositions, given the monomer feed composition and preliminary values of the reactivity ratios. All n(n - 1) reactivity ratios are adjustable. The methods are demonstrated for styrene/methacrylonitrile/ a-methylstyrene, butadiene/styrene/2-methyl- 5-vinyl- pyridine and acrylonitrile/methyl methacrylate/& methylstyrene systems. Binary reactivity ratios predict ternary copolymer compositions generally well in these cues. Reasons are suggested why reactivity ratios from multicomponent experiments may not match the corresponding parameters from binary copolymerizations.     

Estimation of reactivity ratios using emulsion copolymerization data

An approach for the estimation of reactivity ratios using cumulative copolymer composition–overall conversion data obtained in batch emulsion copolymerization is presented. The approach is based on an algorithm for parameter estimation in ordinary differential equations and takes into account the partition of the comonomers between the different phases present in the system. Both copolymer composition and conversion were considered to be affected by experimental errors. The method was first checked by using simulated data that included random errors. The effect of the initial guess and level of errors on the values of the estimated reactivity ratios was investigated. Once the approach was checked, it was used to estimate the reactivity ratios of the styrene–acrylonitrile system based on data obtained in unseeded batch emulsion copolymerizations of these monomers.

The reactivity ratios were calculated according to integrated Lewis–Mayo equation.

Radiation-induced copolymerization of chlorotrifluoroethylene with ethyl vinyl ether

The radiation-induced copolymerization of chlorotrifluoroethylene with ethyl vinyl ether was investigated in the liquid phase at 20 and ?78°C over a wide range of monomer compositions. A copolymer was obtained in which the monomers alternate with regularity along the polymer chain over the entire range of monomer compositions investigated. Both the rate of copolymerization and the intrinsic viscosity of the resulting copolymer were found to depend strongly on the initial monomer composition, both reaching a maximum value at an equimolar concentration of the monomers. The monomer reactivity ratios were determined and correspond well with calculated values. A decrease in the irradiation temperature was accompanied by a marked decrease in the rate of copolymerization and the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer.

Improved methods of estimating monomer reactivity ratios in copolymerization by considering experimental errors in both variables

Existing methods of calculating monomer reactivity ratios in copolymerization are reviewed briefly, evaluated, and classified according to their mathematical and computational similarities. More attention is paid to procedures based on the integrated copolymer equation with which calculation of r values is performed most often by electronic computer. Unfortunately, until now all procedures have shown shortcomings because the real-error structure of the observations has not been taken into account. A new algorithm that does account correctly for measurement errors in both variables is described. A computational method is illustrated for copolymerization data obtained from quantitative gas chromatographic analysis of the monomer feed throughout the reaction. It is shown that the actual error structure of the variables corresponds to the assumed error structure. Reliability of the estimates is substantially increased, compared with the existing methods. Standard deviations of the monomer reactivity ratios are given and appear to be in good agreement with reality.     

A New Analytical Solution of the Binary Copolymer Composition Equation and Suggested Procedure for Deriving the Monomer Reactivity Ratios

Abstract

An absolute analytical procedure is found for obtaining the parameters of the differential, binary, copolymer composition equation, setting up a least-squares condition that places equal weight on all experimental lines of the Mayo-Lewis plot. The values of monomer reactivity ratios for the system ethyl methacrylate (M₁-vinylidene chloride (M₂), studied by Agron et al., are r₁ = 2.052 ± 0.043 and r₂ = 0.346 ± 0.052. These values, especially r₁, differ from the estimates by Agron et al. The new solution, however, appears to yield the estimate of maximum likelihood for the reactivity ratios based on the given experimental data.     

Electroinitiated Cationic Copolymerization of Styrene and 4-Methoxystyrene

The copolymerization of styrene and 4-methoxystyrene by constant potential electrolysis in 1,2-dichloroethane was achieved at three different potentials. Amounts of the monomers in the resulting copolymers were found to be potential-dependent. The effect of polymerization potential on copolymer composition was also found to be related to anodic peak potentials (E_p,a) of the monomers.

Monomer reactivity ratios were found with the integrated Lewis-Mayo equation.     

Antimicrobial activity on the copolymers of 2,4‐dichlorophenyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate: Synthesis and characterization

Copolymers of monomers 2,4‐dichlorophenyl methacrylate (2,4‐DMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized with different monomer feed ratios using toluene as a solvent and 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator at 70 °C. The copolymers were characterized by IR‐spectroscopy, and copolymer composition was determined with UV‐spectroscopy. The linearization method of Fineman–Ross was employed to obtain the monomer reactivity ratios. The molecular weights and polydispersity indexes were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Thermogravimetric analyses of polymers were carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. The homo‐ and copolymers were tested for their antimicrobial properties against selected microorganisms. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 5227–5234, 2004     

Copolymers of pyrrole and bithiophene by oxidative electropolymerization

Pyrrole (PY) and 2,2′-bithiophene (BT) have been electropolymerized at various feed ratios in LiClO₄/Propylene carbonate (PC) and the mer ratios in the copolymer determined by N and S. microanalysis. A strong correlation was observed between the copolymer compositions and the monomer feed ratios using the copolymer equation, and reactivity ratios were determined by a nonlinear error-in-variables approach. Although PY predominates in these copolymers, the proportion of BT increases with increasing applied potential. It is shown that reactivity ratios do not have to be understood in the traditional sense, but may be simply a measure of the relative ease of oxidation of the monomers at the electrode.     

Copolymerisation of maleic anhydride with electron-acceptor monomers

Copolymerisation of maleic anhydride with tert.-butyl methacrylate and trimethylsilyl methacrylate was studied. Both monomers form random copolymers with maleic anhydride and in both cases the acceptor monomer is incorporated preferentially into the copolymer. Maleic anhydride which does not homopolymerise has reactivity ratios of approximately zero. The esters have reactivity ratios of 12.8 for trimethylsilyl methacrylate and 2.95 for tert.-butyl methacrylate. Thermal behavior and molar masses were investigated as a function of composition. Conditions for hydrolysis of the trimethylsilyl ester groups to give free acid groups have been established.     

Calculation of Reactivity Ratios and Sequence Distributions in Copolymers from Monomers 13C-NMR Data

A screening procedure has been developed to predict the average sequence distribution in vinyl copolymers from monomer ¹³C-NMR data. The ¹³C-NMR absorption frequencies of the carbon atoms of the polymerizable double bond are used to calculate the Alfrey-Price Q and e values as previously described by Borchardt and Dalrymple. These, in turn, are used to calculate the monomer reactivity ratios. Reactivity ratios for 54 copolymerizations were calculated by this procedure and compared to literature values. The copolymer sequence distribution may then be determined by means of a computer program written by Harwood. The sequence distribution in copolymers of methacrylic acid and dimethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate, 1,1-dichloroethylene and methacrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate and n-butyl methacrylate, and acrylamide and sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate were calculated from reactivity ratios derived from ¹³C-NMR data and compared to literature values. This procedure may be used to calculate the reactivity ratios from ¹³C-NMR spectra of monomers for which no Q and e values are known. By this method the average sequence distribution of such monomers in copolymers may be predicted, significantly reducing the number of copolymers to be synthesized and tested for use in various applications.     

Search for a Steric Penultimate Effect: Copolymerization of 2,3,4-Trimethyl-3-pentyl Methacrylate with Styrene

The hindered monomer, 2,3,4-trimethyl-3-pentyl methacrylate (I), was synthesized for penultimate effect studies. Since it readily homopoiymerized (km¹¹¹≠ 0) and readily copolymerized with styrene, copolymerizations of I with styrene were carried out at 60°C in benzene with AIBN as initiator. The conversion to copolymer and the copolymer composition were determined by using GLC techniques. Composition-conversion data was analyzed by performing a computerized nonlinear least-squares fitting to the integrated form of the penultimate model equation. The experimental design included the use of optimized M¹°/M²° ratios. The penultimate reactivity ratios calculated from these data were r¹′ = 0.23, r¹′= 0.59, r² = 0.59, r²′ = 1.34. Thus, when I is the penultimate unit, a terminal styryl radical prefers to add styrene, whereas when styrene is the penultimate unit, terminal styryl radicals prefer to add I. These results constitute the best evidence for a steric penultimate effect yet available in the literature from composition-conversion studies. However, the case is not yet proved. Further studies to strengthen this conclusion are proposed.
