粒径可控阳离子型聚苯乙烯纳米粒子的制备及表征

在采用阳离子型双子（gemini）表面活性剂作为乳化剂,不使用任何助乳化剂的条件下,通过改进微乳液聚合工艺制备了窄分布粒径可控的阳离子型聚苯乙烯（PS）纳米乳液。 改进微乳液聚合的主要特点是：大部分苯乙烯以预乳液的形式恒速滴入引发聚合的微乳液中,使用具有高乳化性能的gemini表面活性剂作为乳化剂能明显降低乳胶粒粒径。 实验结果表明,少量阳离子单体三甲基烯丙基氯化铵作为共聚单体能够明显减小Z均粒径、降低粒度分布,乳化剂用量、引发剂用量和反应温度均能影响制备乳胶粒的粒径及其粒度分布。 乳化剂和引发剂用量分别为苯乙烯质量的5%~10%和1.0%~1.5%、反应温度为70~75 ℃时,能够制备粒径小分布窄的阳离子型聚苯乙烯纳米粒子。 Z均粒径与苯乙烯质量之间的线性关系表明,Z均粒径可以通过苯乙烯用量来控制。 不同聚合工艺下制备的聚合物粒度分布曲线表明,改进微乳液聚合工艺（半连续预乳化工艺）在制备窄分布的聚合物纳米粒子方面具有很强的优越性。

通过对苯乙烯乳液聚合微观动力学以及聚合过程中胶粒直径及其分布随时间变化的理论分析,并通过实验验证,比较了不同乳化剂种类、不同反应温度和不同单体用量条件下,产物胶乳的粒径分布,发现乳液聚合最终产物的粒径分布与成核期长短没有直接联系,而是取决于自由基进入胶粒的速率常数、稳态增长时间、胶粒中的平均自由基数目和胶粒的体积增长速率,胶乳单分散性随这些参量的增大而提高,从而解释了采用高温、高引发剂浓度以及长时间反应的条件对最终的胶粒尺寸分布的影响。本文还通过实验,找到了在20～500nm范围内控制粒径大小及粒径分布的方法。在20～100nm的范围内,用一步法乳液聚合,通过改变单体用量和乳化剂浓度,制备了一系列粒径的单分散聚苯乙烯胶乳;在100～500nm的范围内,运用种子乳液聚合,通过改变溶胀单体与种子胶乳的用量比,也制得了不同粒径的单分散聚苯乙烯胶乳。

Microemulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of a cationic emulsifier

The principal subject discussed in the current paper is the radical polymerization of styrene in the three- and four component microemulsions stabilized by a cationic emulsifier. Polymerization in the o/w microemulsion is a new polymerization technique which allows to prepare the polymer latexes with the very high particle interface area and narrow particle size distribution. Polymers formed are very large with a very broad molecular weight distribution. In emulsion and microemulsion polymerizations, the reaction takes place in a large number of isolated loci dispersed in the continuous aqueous phase. However, in spite of the similarities between emulsion and microemulsion polymerization, there are large differences caused by the much larger amount of emulsifier in the latter process. In the emulsion polymerization there are three rate intervals. In the microemulsion polymerization only two reaction rate intervals are commonly detected: first, the polymerization rate increases rapidly with the reaction time and then decreases steadily. Essential features of microemulsion polymerization are as follows: (1) polymerization proceeds under non-stationary state conditions; (2) size and particle concentration increases throughout the course of polymerization; (3) chain-transfer to monomer/exit of transferred monomeric radical/radical re-entry events are operative; and (4) molecular weight is independent of conversion and distribution of resulting polymer is very broad. The number of microdroplets or monomer-starved micelles at higher conversion is high and they persist throughout the reaction. The high emulsifier/water ratio ensures that the emulsifier is undissociated and can penetrate into the microdroplets. The presence of a large amount of emulsifier strongly influences the reaction kinetics and the particle nucleation. The mixed mode particle nucleation is assumed to govern the polymerization process. At low emulsifier concentration the micellar nucleation is dominant while at a high emulsifier concentration the interaction-like homogeneous nucleation is operative. Furthermore, the paper is focused on the initiation and nucleation mechanisms, location of initiation locus, and growth and deactivation of latex particles. Furthermore, the relationship between kinetic and molecular weight parameters of the microemulsion polymerization process and colloidal (water/particle interface) parameters is discussed. In particular, we follow the effect of initiator and emulsifier type and concentration on the polymerization process. Besides, the effects of monomer concentration and additives are also evaluated.

Emulsifier for microemulsion polymerization

 By introducing an hydroxyl group and a lipophilic branch into the middle of lipophilic head of emulsifier 12-oxy-9-octadecenoic acid, a new emulsifier was synthesized and applied in microemulsion polymerization. When the emulsifier content in the microemulsion was kept to about 12%, the highest monomer content in microemulsion could achieve 35% for BA, 20% for St and MMA. The microemulsion with high monomer content remained clear after polymerization, and the average diameters of polymer particles were 38.9 nm for St microemulsion, 47.4 nm for BA, and 50.7 nm for MMA.

Microemulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate. IV. Effect of emulsifier concentration

The oil/water microemulsion polymerizations of butyl acrylate initiated by a water (ammonium peroxodisulfate, APS) or oil (dibenzoyl peroxide, DBP) soluble radical initiator at different emulsifier concentrations were investigated. The rate of polymerization vs. conversion curve shows two intervals. The rate of polymerization is found to decrease with the emulsifier concentration. This finding was discussed in terms of the decrease of both radical and monomer concentration, the chain transfer to emulsifier, desorption of chaintransferred radicals, and the contribution of solution polymerization. The polymerization is faster with APS. In the APS system the rate per particle or the number of radicals per particle increases exponentially with increasing particle size. The particle size and number increase during the whole polymerization. This behavior was discussed in terms of the nucleation of monomer-containing micelles and agglomeration of primary particles during the whole polymerization. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetic and particle size studies of emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene with using polyamidoamine dendrimer as seed

The emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) were investigated with using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer as seed, potassium persulfate as initiator and sodium dodecyl sulfate as emulsifier. The effects of 4.0GPAMAM dendrimer concentration, initiator concentration, emulsifier concentration, monomer concentration, and polymerization temperature on the monomer conversion and polymerization rate were investigated. At the same time, the influence of the generation of PAMAM dendrimer on latex particle size was studied also. The results showed that the monomer conversion and polymerization rate increased with increasing initiator concentration, emulsifier concentration, monomer concentration, and polymerization temperature. But polymerization rate increased firstly with an increase in the 4.0GPAMAM dendrimer from 0.03 g to 0.09 g and then decreased with further increase to 0.12 g. When the concentration of 4.0GPAMAM dendrimer less than 1.449 × 10^?4 mol/L, the kinetic equation can be expressed by Rp∝[4.0GPAMAM]^0.772[SDS]^0.562[KPS]^0.589[M]^0.697, and the activation energy (Ea) of emulsion polymerization is 62.56kJ/mol. In additional, the copolymer latex particle size decreased and possessed monodispersity with increasing the generation of PAMAM dendrimer. According to FT-IR spectrum analysis, PAMAM dendrimer is successfully incorporated into the poly(PAMAM-St–MMA) latex particles.     

On the copolymerization of acrylates in the modified microemulsion process

Copolymerization of methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, and butyl acrylate in turn was performed in the modified microemulsion polymerization process, i.e., continuous addition of monomer to a preemulsified system. It was found that the particle size of the copolymer microlatex did not change distinctly with the monomer composition. The estimation of emulsifier coverage on the microlatex particles indicated that the process switched from a traditional microemulsion to a normal seeded emulsion polymerization very soon after monomer dropping began. Therefore, a longer dropping time is needed to produce a microlatex with narrow dispersed particle size. Besides, in the modified microemulsion polymerization less emulsifier is needed to produce a stable microlatex. This behavior is related to the mechanism of normal seeded emulsion polymerization during monomer dropping.     

Radiation-induced emulsion copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene with propylene. III. Polymerization mechanism

In the radiation-induced emulsion copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene with propylene, the dose rate dependence, the effect of emulsifier concentration, and the effect of monomer composition were studied. The rate of polymerization was proportional to the 0.90 power of the dose rate and the 0.26 power of the emulsifier concentration. The degree of polymerization was independent of the dose rate and the emulsifier concentration. Both the rate of polymerization and the degree of polymerization increased with tetrafluoroethylene content in the monomer mixture. The resulting copolymer was an alternating polymer over a wide range of monomer composition. It was concluded from the dose rate dependence of the rate of polymerization that the emulsion copolymerization is mainly terminated by degradative chain transfer of the propagating radical to propylene.     

A novel method for preparing monodispersed polystyrene nanoparticles

A preparation manner for monodispersed polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles polymerized by using a novel addition procedure of a monomer is suggested. In systems containing a smaller amount of surfactant compared with conventional microemulsion polymerization, the polymerization processes consists of three stages: adding dropwise the first part of the monomer for a few minutes at 80°C and polymerizing for 1 h; adding collectively the residual part of the monomer and polymerizing at the same temperature for another 1 h; and then polymerizing at 85°C for another 1 h. Based on discussions on the nucleation mechanism of particles in the polymerization system, the influences of monomer weight added dropwise, and amounts of initiator and emulsifier on the size and distribution of PS particles were investigated. PS nanoparticles with smaller diameter such as a number-average diameter of 18.7 nm and better monodispersity were obtained since the dropped styrene amount was suitable under 20wt-% emulsifier amount and 3wt-% initiator amount based on the monomer.

Sterically stabilized emulsion polymerization of styrene: Pseudo‐semicontinuous approach

The sterically stabilized emulsion polymerization of styrene initiated by a water‐soluble initiator at different temperatures has been investigated. The rate of polymerization (R_p) versus conversion curve shows the two non‐stationary‐rate intervals typical for the polymerization proceeding under non‐stationary‐state conditions. The shape of the R_p versus conversion curve results from two opposite effects—the increased number of particles and the decreased monomer concentration at reaction loci as the polymerization advances. At elevated temperatures the monomer emulsion equilibrates to a two‐phase or three‐phase system. The upper phase is transparent (monomer), and the lower one is blue colored, typical for microemulsion. After stirring such a multiphase system and initiation of polymerization, the initial coarse polymer emulsion was formed. The average size of monomer/polymer particles strongly decreased up to about 40% conversion and then leveled off. The initial large particles are assumed to be highly monomer‐swollen particles formed by the heteroagglomeration of unstable polymer particles and monomer droplets. The size of the “highly monomer” swollen particles continuously decreases with conversion, and they merge with the growing particles at about 40–50% conversion. The monomer droplets and/or large highly monomer‐swollen polymer particles also serve as a reservoir of monomer and emulsifier. The continuous release of nonionic (hydrophobic) emulsifier from the monomer phase increases the colloidal stability of primary particles and the number of polymer particles, that is, the particle nucleation is shifted to the higher conversion region. Variations of the square and cube of the mean droplet radius with aging time indicate that neither the coalescence nor the Ostwald ripening is the main driving force for the droplet instability. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
