HIGH SOLIDS-CONTENT NANOSIZE POLYMER LATEXES MADE BY A MODIFIED EMULSION COPOLYMERIZATION

Polymer nanoparticles were prepared in the methyl methacrylate (MMA)/buty lmethacrylate (BA) emulsion copolymerization process by a modified microemulsion copolymerization method. 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA), acrylate (AA) and methyl acrylate (MAA) were used as reactive cosurfactants. With this process high polymer: surfactant weight ratios (40:1 or greater),relatively concentrated (～30wt. %) latexes and small (～60nm) particle diameters were obtained.Properties of the latexes were characterized by TEM, DSC, dynamic light scattering, and IR spectroscopy.     

Polymer–silica hybrids obtained by microemulsion polymerization

The styrene (St), butyl acrylate (BuA), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization in microemulsion in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate is studied. This process is conducted in the presence of some comonomers having groups that can participate in sol–gel processes: 3(trimethyloxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPTS), triethoxy vinylsilane (VTES), and a comonomer with a sulfate group, styrene sodium sulfonate (StSO₃Na). It has been observed that stabile latexes are obtained by radical polymerization at pH = 7, followed by a sol–gel process in the presence of ammonia. Latex particles sizes and zeta potential grow with MTPS concentration and in StSO₃Na presence. VTES effect depends on its reactivity in St, MMA, and BuA copolymerization. Glass transition temperature and thermal decomposing temperature are influences by functional comonomer concentration and chemical structure. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum and inorganic residue growth after organic part thermal decomposition shows the presence of silica in obtained latexes.     

High-Solids Content Waterborne Polymer-Clay Nanocomposites

Summary: Waterborne polymer clay nanocomposites (WPCN) were prepared by emulsion and miniemulsion copolymerization of butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate with enhanced mechanical, thermal and barrier properties for coating applications. Emulsion polymerization was used to synthesize WPCN using pristine Na-MMT (sodium montmorillonite) and miniemulsion polymerization to prepare the WPCNs when the pristine clay was organically modified and hence its incorporation into the polymerization loci was not guaranteed by the conventional emulsion polymerization technique. Both techniques allowed preparing stable nanocomposite latexes of BA/MMA copolymers with partially exfoliated morphologies as demonstrated by wide X-ray difraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) measurements. Furthermore, latexes with solids contents up to 45 wt% and manageable viscosities were prepared for the first time using seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization.     

Fluorinated and ring‐substituted bisbenzimidazole copper complexes for ethylene/acrylate copolymerization

Bisbenzimidazole copper dichloride complexes (CuBBIMs), when activated with methylaluminoxane, catalyze the random copolymerization of ethylene with acrylates to produce highly linear functional copolymers. To probe the sensitivity of the copolymerization to the catalyst structure, a series of CuBBIM catalysts with various steric, electronic, and geometric ligand characteristics was prepared, including CuBBIMs having benzimidazole ring substituents and ligand backbones of various lengths. Four different acrylates were also evaluated as comonomers (t‐butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, t‐butyl methacrylate, and methyl methacrylate). Although no obvious ligand‐based influences on copolymerization were identified, the structure of the acrylate comonomer was found to exert significant effects. Copolymers prepared with t‐butyl methacrylate comonomer exhibited the highest ethylene contents (31–63%), whereas those prepared with methyl acrylate contained only minor amounts of ethylene (<15%). Copolymerizations carried out at lowered acrylate feed levels generally had increased ethylene contents but showed smaller yields, lowered molecular weights, and increased branching. Unusual ketoester structures were also observed in the methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate containing copolymers, suggesting that the acrylate ester group size may be an important controlling factor for copolymerization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Copolymerization of 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate with alkyl acrylate monomers

2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate has been copolymerized with methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate in bulk at 60°C using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. The compositions of copolymers have been determined by the estimation of the hydroxyl group by acetylation process. The copolymerization parameters have been determined by conventional scheme of copolymerization.     

An Emulsifier‐Free RAFT‐Mediated Process for the Efficient Synthesis of Cerium Oxide/Polymer Hybrid Latexes

Hybrid latexes based on cerium oxide nanoparticles are synthesized via an emulsifier‐free process of emulsion polymerization employing amphiphatic macro‐RAFT agents. Poly(butyl acrylate‐co‐acrylic acid) random oligomers of various compositions and chain lengths are first obtained by RAFT copolymerization in the presence of a trithiocarbonate as controlling agent. In a second step, the seeded emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methyl acrylate is carried out in the presence of nanoceria with macro‐RAFT agents adsorbed at their surface, resulting in a high incorporation efficiency of cerium oxide nanoparticles in the final hybrid latexes, as evidenced by cryo‐transmission electron microscopy.

Preparation of polyacrylate–polysiloxane core–shell latex particles

Crosslinked polymer seed latexes of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid were synthesized with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinking agent in a first step. Three different processes of seeded emulsion polymerization were used to prepare an outlayer of polysiloxane on the above seed latex particles: (A) direct anionic polymerization of D₄ (octamethyl tetracyclosiloxane) catalyzed by potassium hydroxide; (B) direct cationic polymerization of D₄ onto the seed catalyzed by dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid; (C) a vinyl-containing polysiloxane prepared by copolymerization of D₄ and vinyl septamethyl tetracyclosiloxane was added before the D₄ cationic polymerization. Characterization by transmission electron microscopy showed that only process C provided satisfactory results. Film hardness was measured, and the latex film from process C demonstrated the lowest hardness of all the films. The mechanism of polymerization is discussed.     

Olefin copolymerization via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer

Successful statistical copolymerization of an alpha-olefin (1-octene) with an acrylate (butyl acrylate, BA) and with a methacrylate (methyl methacrylate, MMA), employing reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediated polymerization has been accomplished     

Influence of hydrophobic monomers on secondary nucleation of hydroxyl‐functionalized latexes

The influence of butyl acrylate (BA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) on hydroxyl functionalized latexes was investigated. The hydrophobicity of the monomer feed was varied via the BA/MMA ratio. In addition to monitoring the effect of hydrophobic monomer feed on secondary nucleation, the polymerization kinetics and final latex properties were also obtained for comparison. Five different BA to MMA molar ratios were combined with five 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mol% in monomer composition). All latexes were synthesized through seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization process. Particle size distributions and average particle sizes of the latexes were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and qualitatively compared with transmission electron microscope (TEM) images. The BA to MMA ratio significantly influences the boundary HEMA concentration at which homogeneous secondary nucleation occurs. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

The role of itaconic and fumaric acid in the emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate

The effect of itaconic (IA) and fumaric (FA) acids, in the emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with n-butyl acrylate (BA) is presented in this work. The effect of functional monomers on the overall conversion, on the colloidal properties of the latexes as well as on the distribution of the carboxylic groups (buried, particle surface and serum) was examined. The effect of the pH on the partitioning of IA and FA on the copolymerizations was also examined in order to better understand the role of these functional monomers. The carboxylic groups present in the cleaned latexes were analyzed using conductimetry and manual titration with a solution of sodium hydroxide in methanol. The results of these analyses showed that it was possible to determine the distribution profile of the carboxylic groups in the latexes (buried, particle surface and serum). It was demonstrated that IA and FA were distributed differently throughout the three phases of the emulsion, with these differences depending on the solubility of the corresponding monomer.     

Das Monte Carlo-studium der verteilung der sequenzen in den copolymeren des methylmethacrylats mit chloropren und des 2-hydroxyäthyl-methacrylats mit alkylacrylaten

Using our Monte Carlo model of binary copolymerization, one studies the sequence distribution in methyl methacrylate/chloroprene and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/alkyl acrylate copolymers. Our study points out incontestably that the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate is explainable through ultimate group effect (Ebdon has stated a penultimate group effect). In the case of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/alkyl acrylate copolymers the agreement between computed and experimental data is satisfactory.     

New initiator system for the anionic polymerization of (meth)acrylates in toluene. IV. Random copolymerization of (meth)acrylates in toluene initiated by s-BuLi ligated by lithium silanolates

Copolymerization of binary mixtures of alkyl (meth)acrylates has been initiated in toluene by a mixed complex of lithium silanolate  (s-BuMe₂SiOLi) and s-BuLi (molar ratio > 21) formed in situ by reaction of s-BuLi with hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D₃). Fully acrylate and methacrylate copolymers, i.e., poly(methyl acrylate-co-n-butyl acrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate), poly(isobornyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate), poly(isobornyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate) of a rather narrow molecular weight distribution have been synthesized. However, copolymerization of alkyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate pairs has completely failed, leading to the selective formation of homopoly(acrylate). As result of the isotactic stereoregulation of the alkyl methacrylate polymerization by the s-BuLi/s-BuMe₂SiOLi initiator, highly isotactic random and block copolymers of (alkyl) methacrylates have been prepared and their thermal behavior analyzed. The structure of isotactic poly(ethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) copolymers has been analyzed in more detail by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Adding magnetic ionic liquid monomers to the emulsion polymerization tool‐box: Towards polymer latexes and coatings with new properties

Magnetic ionic liquid monomers were synthesized and then polymerized to get magnetic polymer latexes and films. First, a series of 1‐vinyl‐3‐dodecyl‐imidazolium monomers having metal halides counter‐anions such as FeCl₃Br^?, CoCl₂Br^?, and MnCl₂Br^? were synthesized. These ionic liquid monomers were first homopolymerized to lead to magnetic poly(ionic liquids) and characterized. Secondly, magnetic latexes were synthesized by using the magnetic ionic liquids as surfmers (surfactant + monomer) in the emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate/n‐butyl acrylate. It was found that the powders obtained by freeze‐drying the latexes presented a paramagnetic behavior with weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions. Although the ratio of magnetic ionic liquid/monomer was only 2% these poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐butyl acrylate) powders and latexes responded to a magnetic field due to the surfmer paramagnetic nature. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate latexes: adhesive properties

In this study, butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate (BA/MMA) latexes of bimodal molecular weight and particle size distribution were prepared in a multi-step process by seeded conventional emulsion and seeded miniemulsion polymerization. For the conventional emulsion case, a BA/MMA batch copolymerization was conducted as a first step (seed generation) and was followed by a monomer addition step to ensure particle growth. In a third step, a BA/MMA pre-emulsified mixture was added to generate a second particle population. For the miniemulsion case, a BA/MMA copolymerization was carried out as a first step (seed generation) and was followed by a monomer addition step. The addition of a BA/MMA miniemulsion served to generate a bimodal particle size and molecular weight distribution. The final latexes were coated onto a polyethylene terephthalate carrier, dried and their performance as pressure-sensitive adhesives was evaluated using tack, peel and shear adhesion measurements. Structure-property relationships between the adhesive properties and the weight-average molecular weight and average particle size were examined. Even though the polymers obtained by miniemulsion showed better shear resistance, their shear resistance was low. There was no statistically significant difference in peel resistance of the polymers obtained by the two reactions. While a significant difference in tackiness between the two emulsion procedures was found when the adhesives were tested using the less sensitive, rolling ball test, no differences were found when they were tested using a loop tack test.     

SEED SEMICONTINUOUS EMULSION MULTI-COPOLYMERIZATION OF (METH) ACRYLATES WITH HIGH-SOLID CONTENT: EFFECT OF THE OPERATION CONDITIONS

The seeded semicontinuous emulsion multi-copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA),2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), 2-hydroxyl propyl acrylate(HOPA) and acrylic acid (AA) was used to prepare the acrylic latexes with high-solidcontent. The effects of monomer emulsion feed rates (R_a) and (R/E)_E values, the ratio ofemulsifier amount between the initial charge (R) and the addition monomer emulsion (E),on the polymerization reaction features, the viscosities, surface tensions,particle sizes andparticle sizes distributions of latexes,T_g and the insoluble fractions of films, the 180° peelstrength, tack and holding power of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, preparedfrom the latexes, were studied. Experimental study shows that the grafting and cross-linking fraction in the PSA tapes must be controlled within a suitable range to keep thebalance of the 180° peel strength, tack and holding power.     

Synthesis of poly(vinylidene chloride)-based composite latexes by emulsion polymerization from epoxy functional seeds for improved thermal stability

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate)/poly(vinylidene chloride-co-methyl acrylate) (poly(GMA-co-BMA)/poly(VDC-co-MA)) composite latexes have been successfully synthesized via a two-stage emulsion polymerization process. In a first step, emulsion copolymerization of GMA and BMA was carried out in optimized conditions (low temperature, neutral pH, starved-feed conditions) to both limit the hydrolysis of epoxy groups and obtain small particle size (typically 30-50 nm size range). Composite latexes were then obtained by a second-stage seeded copolymerization of VDC and MA in the presence of tetrasodium pyrophosphate to control the pH and reach high molecular weight, leading to partial encapsulation of the seed particles (snow-man morphology, in agreement with theoretical expectations). Thermogravimetric analyses performed on the resulting composite particles showed that the epoxy-functionalized seed polymer behaved as an efficient thermal stabilizer of PVDC.
