Preparation of polyvinylpyrrodione microspheres by dispersion polymerization

The preparation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) microspheres in ethyl acetate by dispersion polymerization with N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) as initial monomer, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) (P (NVP-co-VAc)) as dispersant, and 2, 2′-azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN) as initiator is reported. The influences of monomer concentration, dispersant concentration and initiator concentration on the size of PVP microspheres as well as the monomer conversion were studied. The structure and properties of PVP microspheres were analyzed. The results show that the prepared PVP microspheres have a mean diameter of 3-4 μm. With an increase in NVP concentration, the size and the molecular weight of the PVP microspheres as well as the monomer conversion all increase. With increasing P(NVP-co-VAc) concentrations, the PVP molecular weight and monomer conversion both increase while the size of the microspheres becomes smaller. As the concentration of AIBN increases, the microsphere size and monomer conversion increase whereas the PVP molecular weight decreases. The PVP prepared by dispersion polymerization has a crystal structure, and its molecular weight is lower compared to that prepared by solution polymerization. __________ Translated from Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2007, 11 (in Chinese)     

Dispersion polymerization of styrene in ethanol: Monomer partitioning behavior and locus of polymerization

A thermodynamic model has been proposed for the simulation of monomer partitioning behavior in the dispersion polymerization of styrene in ethanol. The monomer concentration in the polymer particles is very low (20 vol% at 5% conversion) and decreases further as the polymerization proceeds. It is independent of stabilizer concentration but is strongly dependent on initial monomer concentration. The partitio n coefficient ([M_p]/[M_c]) of styrene increases from 0.8 to 1.1 with incresing conversion. There are two polymerization loci in dispersion polymerization, namely the continuous and polymer phases. Competition between solution and heterogeneous polymerization has been observed in this system. The rate of dispersion polymerization is dependent on initial monomer concentration but is independent of initiator concentration at higher conversions. The molecular weight of the polymers produced by this process increases with increasing conversion and decreases with increasing initiator concentration.     

THERMOSENSITIVITY OF NARROW-DISPERSED POLY(N-n-PROPYLACRYLAMIDE) PREPARED BY ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

Effect of inititiator on the molecular weight distribution in dispersion polymerization of styrene

Dispersion polymerization of styrene in the particle size range of 10 μ with lauroyl peroxide as initiator results in a double-peak molecular weight (MW) distribution. The high-MW fraction was due to emulsion polymerization. The same phenomenon also exists in AIBN and benzoyl peroxide initiation, although it is less obvious. The kinetics of the reaction for dispersion polymerization was dependent on the concentration of the dispersing agent and the nature of the initiator.     

Precipitation polymerization in acetonitrile and 1‐propanol mixture: synthesis of monodisperse poly(styrene‐co‐divinylbenzene) microspheres with clean and smooth surface

Precipitation polymerization of styrene (St)–divinylbenzene (DVB) has been carried out using acetonitrile/1‐propanol mixture as the reaction media and 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Monodisperse micron‐sized poly(St‐co‐DVB) microspheres with clean and smooth surface were synthesized in the absence of any stabilizing agent such as surfactants or steric stabilizers. The effects of various polymerization parameters such as 1‐propanol fraction in the reaction media, initiator and total monomer concentration, DVB content, polymerization time and polymerization temperature on the morphology, particle size and size distribution were investigated. It was found that smoothly shaped stable particles were obtained when less than 70 vol% of 1‐propanol was used in the media. The particle size increased with the AIBN concentration, whereas the change of uniformity was less obvious. Monodisperse microspheres were obtained when the total monomers loading ranged from 0.5 to 3 vol%. The particle diameter ranged from 2.73 to 1.87 µm with an increasing DVB content and the uniformity was enhanced. In addition, the yield of microspheres increased with the increasing total monomer, initiator, and DVB concentration and polymerization time. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)-stabilized dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents: Effect of reaction parameters

Dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) produces latex particles from ca. 1 to 26 μm depending on reaction parameters. Increasing the initiator concentration or temperature decreases the molecular weight, but increases the particle size and breadth of the size distribution. The decrease in molecular weight with increasing R_i, caused by larger initiator concentration or higher temperature, is expected based of fundamental kinetic relationships. The inverse correlation between size and rate of initiation is rationalized by polarity (stabilizing ability) of the grafted HPC-polystyrene formed in situ. High polar HPC-g-PS, which contains shorter graft polystyrene chain, stabilizes particles less effectively and this leads to larger particles. The primary influence of initial styrene concentration is a solvent effect: larger particles are obtained at high styrene concentration due to high solubility of polystyrene during the initial part of the reaction. The influence of the molecular weight of HPC is to change the polarity of the HPC-g-PS stabilizer. Comparison of particle growth of three critical polymerization systems suggests that the favorable continuous-phase solubility parameter for dispersion polymerization of styrene is around 11.6 (cal/mL)^1/2. Too high or too low polarity generates particles with broad size distribution because large particles are formed during the initial stage and nucleation continues as the polymerization proceeds. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Nitroxide-mediated photo-controlled/living radical dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate

The nitroxide-mediated photo dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was performed by irradiation at room temperature using (2RS,2′RS)-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) as the initiator, 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (MTEMPO) as the mediator, (4-tert-butylphenyl)-diphenylsulfonium triflate as the photo-acid generator, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the surfactant in a mixed solvent of methanol/water = 3/1 (v/v). The MTEMPO-mediated photo dispersion polymerization produced spherical particles of PMMA, while the uncontrolled photo dispersion polymerization without MTEMPO provided nonspherical particles. The size distribution of the spherical particles decreased as the PVP concentration increased. The spherical particles showed a comparatively narrow molecular weight distribution of ca. 1.6. The livingness of the polymerization was confirmed on the basis of the linear correlations of the first-order time–conversion plots and conversion–molecular weight plots. The simultaneous control of the size distribution and molecular weight was possible as long as the light penetrates into the particles.     

Control of particle size in dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles ranging in diameter from 2 to 10 μm were prepared by dispersion polymerization. The effects of various polymerization parameters on the size and monodispersity were systematically investigated. The particle size was found to increase with increasing polymerization temperature, concentration and decomposition rate of the initiator, and solvency of the dispersion medium. It also increased with increasing concentration and molecular weight of the polymeric stabilizer, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). As the monomer concentration was increased from 5 to 20 wt %, a minimum was found in the particle size at a monomer concentration of 10 wt %. A costabilizer was found to be necessary for preparing monodisperse particles at stabilizer concentrations below 2 wt %. A recycling experiment showed that the consumption of PVP was quite small in each cycle and the residual materials in this system could be reused readily. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
