The polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by cupric laurate in combination with benzoin has been investigated in carbon tetrachloride medium at 60°C. The rate of polymerization was found to be proportional to the square root of both cupric ion and benzoin concentrations, and to the 1.5th power of the monomer concentration. Spectral studies indicated that there is a complex formation between cupric ion and the monomer methyl methacrylate. A reaction scheme, based on initial formation of the complex and its subsequent reaction with benzoin to produce the free radicals responsible for initiation has been postulated to explain the observed results. 相似文献
This investigation reports the synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) via activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) and studies the effect of solvents and temperature on its polymerization kinetics. ARGET ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out in different solvents and at different temperatures using CuBr2 as catalyst in combination with N,N,N′,N″,N″‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine as a ligand. Methyl 2‐chloro propionate was used as ATRP initiator and ascorbic acid was used as a reducing agent in the ARGET ATRP of MMA. The conversion was measured gravimetrically. The semilogarithmic plot of monomer conversion versus time was found to be linear, indicating that the polymerization follows first‐order kinetics. The linear polymerization kinetic plot also indicates the controlled nature of the polymerization. N,N‐Dimethylformamide (DMF), tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, and methyl ethyl ketone were used as solvents to study the effect on the polymerization kinetics. The effect of temperature on the kinetics of the polymerization was also studied at various temperatures. It has been observed that polymerization followed first‐order kinetics in every case. The rate of polymerization was found to be highest (kapp = 6.94 × 10−3 min−1) at a fixed temperature when DMF was used as solvent. Activation energies for ARGET ATRP of MMA were also calculated using the Arrhenius equation. 相似文献
A homogeneous reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was successfully carried out in N, N-dimethylformamide(DMF) (25%, v/v) at 69°C, using an initiating system azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/CuBr2/N, N, N′, N″, N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA). The kinetics of homogeneous solution polymerizations showed linear first-order rate plots, indicating a constant number of growing species throughout the polymerization as well as a negligible contribution of termination or transfer reactions; a linear increase of the number-average molecular weight with conversion, and relatively low polydispersities, but low initiator efficiency. The dependence of the rate of polymerization on the concentrations of initiator, catalyst, ligand and temperature were presented. 相似文献
In this work, we studied the influence of time reaction and initiator amount on N-(1-naphthyl)acrylamide (NAM) polymerization, in dioxane and DMF. The same was done with three copolymers with methyl methacrylate (MMA). We found that NAM could be incorporated in high proportions in the copolymer. We also found that, with the same reaction time, the amount of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) has little or no effect on the polymerization degree; however reaction rates and yields were affected in DMF. All homopolymers showed a low dispersion (?), even when they were polymerized in solution. All DPNAMs can be classified as monodisperse. 相似文献
Summary: Radiation‐induced polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in ethanol (EtOH) and N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of ionic liquid [Me3NC2H4OH]+[ZnCl3]− is reported. A substantial increase in monomer conversion and molecular weight is observed at room‐temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) >60 vol.‐%, and the resulting PMMA has a broad multimodal MWD. A clear difference in the MWD pattern is noted between EtOH/RTIL and DMF/RTIL systems, probably due to the complicated interactions between the solvent and ionic liquid.

The electrochemical and chemical polymerization of acrylamide (AA) has been studied. The electrolysis of the monomer in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing (C4H9)4NClO4 as the supporting electrolyte leads to polymer formation in both anode and cathode compartments. The cathodic polymer dissolves in the reaction mixture and the anodic polymer precipitates during the course of polymerization. A plausible mechanism for the anodic and cathodic initiation reaction has been given. The chemical polymerization of acrylamide that has been initiated by HClO4 is analogous to its anodic polymerization. The polymer yield increases with an increase in concentration of the monomer and HClO4. Raising the reaction temperature also enhances the polymerization rate. The overall apparent activation energy of the polymerization was determined to be ca. 19 kcal/mole. The copolymerization of acrylamide was carried out with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in a solution of HClO4 in DMF. The reactivity ratios are r1 (AA) = 0.25 and r2 = 2.50. The polymerization with HClO4 appears to be by a free radical mechanism. When the polymerization of acrylamide is carried out with HClO4 in H2O, a crosslinked water-insoluble gel formation takes place. 相似文献
The polymerization of methyl methacrylate was studied in carbon tetrachloride medium with ferric laurate, a metal soap, in combination with n-hexyl amine as the initiator system at 60°C. The rate of polymerization was found to be linear with the monomer concentration and proportional to the square root of both ferric ion and amine concentration. A reaction scheme involving initial complex formation between ferric ion and amine and subsequent reaction of the complex with the solvent molecule to produce free radicals responsible for initiation of polymerization has been postulated to account for the observed results. 相似文献
The initiating ability of N-hydroxyphthalimide in polymerization of methyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile was examined. For the polymerization of methyl methacrylate, the initial polymerization rates and activation energies were determined, and the dependences of the polymerization rates on the initiator and monomer concentrations were evaluated. An initiation mechanism was suggested. 相似文献
The polymerization of vinyl monomers with various xanthates (potassium tert-butylxanthate, potassium benzylxanthate, zinc n-butylxanthate, etc.) were carried out at 0°C in dimethylformamide. N-Phenylmaleimide, acrylonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone, and methyl methacrylate were found to undergo polymerization with potassium tert-butylxanthate; however, styrene, methyl acrylate, and acrylamide were not polymerized with this xanthate. In the anionic polymerization of methyl vinyl ketone with potassium tert-butylxanthate, the rate of the polymerization was found to be proportional to the catalyst concentration and to the square of the monomer concentration. The activation energy of methyl vinyl ketone polymerization was 2.9 kcal/mole. In the polymerization, the order of monomer reactivity was as follows: N-phenylmaleimide > methyl vinyl ketone > acrylonitrile > methyl methacrylate. The initiation ability of xanthates increased with increasing basicity of the alkoxide group and with decreasing electronegativity of the metal ion in the series, lithium, sodium, and potassium tert-butylxanthate. The relative effects of the aprotic polar solvents on the reactivity of potassium tert-butylxanthate was also determined as follows: diethylene glycol dimethyl ether > dimethylsulfoxide > hexamethylphosphoramide > dimethylformamide > tetrahydrofuran (for methyl vinyl ketone); dimethyl sulfoxide > hexamethylphosphoramide > dimethylformamide ? diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (for acrylonitrile). 相似文献

The controlled polymerization of methyl methacrylate in DMF with participation of FeCl3 and ligands (acrylamide, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane, citric acid, and sulfosalicylic acid) has been studied. It has been shown for the first time that DMF ensures the polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the controlled mode without any other complexing agents. As temperature increases, the rate of the process and the polydispersity of PMMA increase. 相似文献
Summary: Radical homopolymerizations and copolymerizations of styrene were performed in toluene and N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvents using different initiators with and without microwave irradiation. Only the homopolymerization of styrene under microwave irradiation in DMF with DtBP showed significantly enhanced styrene conversion whereas other initiators resulted in no or only slight increase of styrene conversion under microwave irradiation. In any case, DMF was required to gain in styrene conversion under microwave irradiation. Significantly higher monomer conversions were observed under otherwise comparable conditions in the copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in DMF. Microwave‐induced selectivity of monomers was not observed in copolymerizations.

The radical polymerizations and copolymerizations of dimethylstannyl dimethacrylate (DSM) and trimethylstannyl methacrylate (TSM) in dimethylformamide (DMF) were studied. These monomers did not polymerize thermally, but easily underwent polymerization in the presence of α,α′-azobisisobutyronitrile and on irradiation with ultraviolet light. The polymer obtained from TSM was soluble in DMF and methanol, but that from DSM was insoluble in any organic solvents; this polymer probably consists of a network structure. These polymers were converted to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) by means of acid hydrolysis and then methylation with diazomethane. The content of syndiotactic triad was determined from infrared spectra of PMMA derived from the polymers of DSM and TSM. It was noted that the content of syndiotactic triad was greater in the radical polymerization of TSM than those of DSM at every temperature investigated. The differences in the activation enthalpy (ΔΔH?) and in the activation entropy (ΔΔS?) between isotactic and syndiotactic additions were determined as follows: for DSM, ΔΔH? = ~0 cal/mole, ΔΔS? = ?0.856 eu; for TSM, ΔΔH? = 229 cal/mole, ΔΔ = ?1.09 eu. From the radical copolymerizations of DSM and TSM with styrene at 60°C, the copolymerization parameters, Q and e, were evaluated as follows: for DSM, Q = 1.36, e = 0.41; for TSM, Q = 0.45, e = ?0.37. These results were compared with the reported effects of stannic chloride and zinc chloride on the radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate. 相似文献
