Radiation-induced polymerization of glass-forming systems. IV. Effect of the homogeneity of polymerization phase and polymer concentration on temperature dependence of initial polymerization rate

The effect of homogeneity of polymerization phase and monomer concentration on the temperature dependence of initial polymerization rate was studied in the radiation-induced radical polymerization of binary systems consisting of glass-forming monomer and solvent. In the polymerization of a completely homogeneous system such as HEMA–propylene glycol, a maximum and a minimum in polymerization rates as a function of temperature, characteristic of the polymerization in glass-forming systems, were observed for all monomer concentrations. However, in the heterogeneous polymerization systems such as HEMA–triacetin and HEMA–isoamyl acetate, maximum and minimum rates were observed in monomer-rich compositions but not at low monomer concentrations. Furthermore, in the HEMA–dioctyl phthalate polymerization system, which is extremely heterogeneous, no maximum and minimum rates were observed at any monomer concentration. The effect of conversion on the temperature dependence of polymerization rate in homogeneous bulk polymerization of HEMA and GMA was investigated. Maximum and minimum rates were observed clearly in conversions less than 10% in the case of HEMA and less than 50% in the case of GMA, but the maximum and minimum changed to a mere inflection in the curve at higher conversions. A similar effect of polymer concentration on the temperature dependence of polymerization rate in the GMA–poly(methyl methacrylate) system were also observed. It is deduced that the change in temperature dependence of polymerization rate is attributed to the decrease in contribution of mutual termination reaction of growing chain radicals to the polymerization rate.     

Effect of dose rate on the radiation-induced polymerization of ethylene in tert-butyl alcohol

The dependence of the dose rate on the rate of radiation-induced polymerization of ethylene in tert-butyl alcohol containing 5 vol-% water was studied. The reaction was carried out by use of a reactor with a capacity of 100 ml under the following conditions: pressure, 200 kg/cm²; temperature, 24 ± 3°C; dose rate, 3.7 × 10⁴?1.6 × 10⁵ rad/hr; amount of medium, 70 ml. The dose rate exponents for rate of the polymerization, the molecular weight, and the number of polymer chain were found to be about 0.8, ?0.1, and 0.9, respectively. These results were well explained with kinetic results (obtained by a novel analytical method) for the polymerization which contain both first-order and second-order terminations for the concentrations of propagating radical. The individual values of the rate constants in each elementary reaction were also obtained.     

Course of poly(4-aminodiphenylamine)/Ag nanocomposite formation through UV-vis spectroscopy

Kinetics of chemical oxidative polymerization of 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) was followed in aqueous 1 M p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) using silver nitrate (AgNO3) as an oxidant by UV-vis spectroscopy. The medium was found to be clear and homogeneous during the course of polymerization. The absorbances corresponding to the intermediate and the polymer were followed for different concentrations of 4ADPA and AgNO3 and at different reaction time. The appearance of a band around 450 nm during the initial stages of polymerization corresponds to the plasmon resonance formed by the reduction of Ag+ ions. Rate of poly(4-aminodiphenylamine)/Ag nanocomposite (RP4ADPA/AgNC) was determined for various reaction conditions. R(P4ADP/AgNC) showed second order power dependence on 4ADPA and first order dependence on AgNO3. The observed order dependences of 4ADPA and AgNO3 on the formation of P4ADPA/AgNC were used to deduce a rate equation for the reaction. Rate constant for the reaction was determined through different approaches. The good agreement between the rate constants obtained through different approaches justifies the selection of rate equation.     

Kinetic modelling and optimization of the trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane polymerization

Use of promoter dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in conjunction with initiator normal butyllithium has resulted in rapid and controllable ring-opening polymerization of 1,3,5-tris-(3′,3′,3′-trifluoro-propyl)1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane at 40°C; monomer consumption rate can be varied by at least four orders of magnitude depending on the ratio of promoter-to-initiator concentrations. Compared to the sodium counterion also studied here, the lithium initiator slows the backbiting alkyl-reactions which cause degradation of polymer to cyclics containing four or more fluoroal-kylsiloxy units. This previously uninvestigated polymerization methodology offers greater opportunity for capturing high, nonequilibrium polymer yield of this fluoroalkylsiloxane through appropriately timed termination of the reaction. To facilitate this optimization, a kinetic model of the polymerization was developed by solving the isothermal, constant density rate expressions for a two-step, series mechanism. The solution to the coupled system of nonhomogeneous ordinary differential equations is obtained by matrix variation of parameters. The rate constants were determined by appropriate kinetic analysis of the experimental data obtained for polymer and cyclics concentrations as a function of time under various conditions. This results in a quantitative model capable of predicting optimum polymerization time to maximize the yield of poly(3,3,3-trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane) at ca. 85–90%.     

Effect of Some Solvents on the Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate Studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry

The course of the isothermal polymerization of methyl methacrylate in different concentrated solutions in toluene, n-butyl acetate, cyclohexanone, and dimethylformamide was measured at four temperatures by differential scanning calorimetry. The conversions at the sharp increase of the reaction rate were found to increase with dilution of the reaction mixture. The polymerization enthalpies and the composite rate constants were calculated. The polymerization enthalpies seem to be solvent independent. The composite rate constants for polymerization in butyl acetate are lower and those for polymerization in toluene are equal to the constants for bulk polymerization. They are independent of the concentration of the reaction system. The constants for polymerization in cyclohexanone and dimethylformamide are, however, concentration dependent. An interrelation between the composite rate constants and solubility parameters of the solvents and methyl methacrylate was found. The relative molecular weight averages decrease with decreasing concentration of the reaction mixture. The MW distributions were very broad.     

Synthesis and Demulsibility of the Terpolymer Demulsifier of Acryl Resin

Terpolymer demulsifier of acryl resin has been synthesized through solution polymerization with water as a dissolvent, potassium persulfate as an initiator and the monomers of methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and acrylic acid as starting materials. The effects of the reaction temperature, dripping time, the amount of monomers and initiator on the dehydration rate of the demulsifier were investigated by an orthogonal experiment. It shows that the stronger influence on the dehydration rate among six factors is reaction temperature, dripping time, and amount of catalyst, while monomer has weak influence. The performance of the demulsifier was evaluated under different demulsification time, temperatures and concentrations of the screened demulsifiers. The result shows that the dehydration rate of the demulsifier can reach over 67%, which is better than that by the emulsion polymerization way.     

1H NMR study of the kinetics of substituted aniline polymerization. I. Homopolymerization of 2‐methoxyaniline

We studied the kinetics of the oxidative chemical homopolymerization of 2‐methoxyaniline (OMA) in aqueous acid solutions by monitoring OMA depletion with ¹H NMR spectroscopy. We used the same semiempirical kinetic model used for aniline (ANI) homopolymerization to evaluate the experimental data. The reaction kinetics of OMA homopolymerization was similar to that of ANI, although we obtained longer induction and propagation times for OMA. This was attributed to steric hindrance of the bulky methoxy substituent during the coupling reaction. Furthermore, it was suggested that a lower OMA polymerization rate could also be related to a lower concentration of nonprotonated OMA molecules in the reaction solution due to a higher pK_a value for OMA than for ANI. This may also explain the lower OMA end conversion (90%) compared with that of ANI (96%). The OMA end conversion was not influenced substantially by reaction conditions; it was lower than 90% only when high acid or low oxidant (oxidant‐deficient oxidant/OMA ratio) concentrations were applied. Because the oxidant took an active part in polymerization, it markedly influenced the polymerization rate, especially the initiation rate. The OMA initiation and propagation rates increased with increasing oxidant and initial monomer concentrations and with the reaction temperature, but there was no uniform trend in the correlation between the homopolymerization rate and acid concentration. The activation energies of the OMA initiation and propagation were 57 and 10 kJ/mol, respectively. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 39: 2471–2481, 2001     

Catalytic Effect of Dimethylsulfoxide Complexes of Rh(III) and Ru(II) on the Polymerization of Vinyl Monomers Initiated by 2,2′-Azobisisobutyronitrile

Transition metal salts and complexes catalyze the polymerization of vinyl monomers in the presence or absence of 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). In this article the effect of some dimethyl sulfoxide complexes of Rh(III) and Ru(II) on the polymerization of vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methyl acrylate (MA) initiated by AIBN is reported. The percentage conversion and the rate of polymerization of MMA and MA are found to increase rapidly with time. At the critical concentrations of the complexes, the percentage conversion and the rates of reaction are found to be higher than those with AIBN alone, which significantly proves their accelerating effect. At concentrations above and below that of the critical value, the percentage conversion and the rates of polymerization of MMA and MA are found to decrease from those with AIBN alone. The trend of the increase and decrease of the percentage conversion and the rate of reaction with both types of complexes are similar. The solvent used in the polymerization of MMA and MA is dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and the temperature of the reaction is 60°C. A precise mechanism for the catalytic reaction is suggested.

Polymerization of cyclopentadiene initiated by methylaluminoxane

The polymerization of cyclopentadiene (CPD) was effectively initiated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) to generate poly(cyclopentadiene) (polyCPD). The effects on the polymerization of some reaction parameters such as the monomer concentration, the initiator concentration, and solvents were investigated. The conversion of CPD was monitored with gas chromatography to investigate the reaction kinetics. The polymerization rate was proportional to the concentrations of MAO in the first order and of the CPD monomer in the second order, and a reasonable cationic polymerization mechanism was suggested on the basis of the kinetic study. PolyCPD obtained at a low temperature could be dissolved in toluene or chloroform, and this indicated lower cross‐coupling during the polymerization reaction. ¹H NMR and IR analysis of the polymer indicated that there were almost equal amounts of 1,2‐enchainment and 1,4‐enchainment in the polymer chain. The measurement of polyCPD showed its unique properties as a potential candidate for stable wrappings or electronic packaging materials. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Details of the emulsion polymerization of styrene using a reaction calorimeter

An automated reaction calorimeter was used to directly monitor the rate of emulsion polymerization of styrene using different emulsifier (sodium lauryl sulfate) and initiator (potassium persulfate) concentrations. By using this technique in conjunction with off-line measurements of the evolution of the particle size distributions, important details of the process were observed. The classical constant rate period (Interval II) often reported for the batch emulsion polymerization of styrene was not seen in this work. Instead, the experimental results suggest that the end of nucleation and the disappearance of monomer droplets take place at approximately the same conversion (36–40%). From the polymerization rate data, important parameters such as the monomer concentration in the polymer particles and the average number of radicals per particle were calculated. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Particle formation under monomer‐starved conditions in the semibatch emulsion polymerization of styrene. I. Experimental

Particle formation and particle growth compete in the course of an emulsion polymerization reaction. Any variation in the rate of particle growth, therefore, will result in an opposite effect on the rate of particle formation. The particle formation in a semibatch emulsion polymerization of styrene under monomer‐starved conditions was studied. The semibatch emulsion polymerization reactions were started by the monomer being fed at a low rate to a reaction vessel containing deionized water, an emulsifier, and an initiator. The number of polymer particles increased with a decreasing monomer feed rate. A much larger number of particles (within 1–2 orders of magnitude) than that generally expected from a conventional batch emulsion polymerization was obtained. The results showed a higher dependence of the number of polymer particles on the emulsifier and initiator concentrations compared with that for a batch emulsion polymerization. The size distribution of the particles was characterized by a positive skewness due to the declining rate of the growth of particles during the nucleation stage. A routine for monomer partitioning among the polymer phase, the aqueous phase, and micelles was developed. The results showed that particle formation most likely occurred under monomer‐starved conditions. A small average radical number was obtained because of the formation of a large number of polymer particles, so the kinetics of the system could be explained by a zero–one system. The particle size distribution of the latexes broadened with time as a result of stochastic broadening associated with zero–one systems. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Kinetics of two-phase bulk polymerization. II. The influence of dissolved polymer

The effect of dissolved polybutadiene on the initial rate of polymerization of styrene was investigated by using high-precision dilatometric techniques. The dissolved polymer reduced the rate of polymerization by amounts greater than can be accounted for by a reduction in monomer concentration. Rate reductions increased with the amount of dissolved polybutadiene and with its molecular weight and were greater for benzoyl peroxide initiator than for equal concentrations of azobisisobutyronitrile. Surprisingly, analogous rate reductions were observed when polystyrene were substituted for the polybutadienes, except that at high polystyrene concentrations, the expected autoacceleration was observed. These rate reductions showed no correlation with the viscosity of the reaction mass, nor did the dissolved polymer affect initiator efficiency. At a given level of a particular dissolved polybutadiene, rate reductions were diminished by increasing levels of each initiator, and by adding a chain-transfer agent. Good quantitative agreement was obtained with the number-average length of the growing polymer chains, whether varied by using different initiators, changing initiator level, or adding chain-transfer agent. These results are inconsistent with a chemical mechanism, but they are explained by a proposal originated by North and Reed whereby the dissolved polymer makes the reaction mass a “poorer” solvent for the growing polymer chains, reducing their overall coil dimensions and enhancing their rate of diffusion together for termination.     

High-conversion polymerization. IV. A definition of the onset of the gel effect

The gel effect in free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers has been recognized as the result of the increased viscosity of the reaction solution of polymer in monomer, which causes a decrease in the rate of the termination reaction. This effect manifests itself as an increase in the rate of polymerization over that rate to be expected in its absence. Definition of the onset of the gel effect has become necessary for several purposes. Previously, it has been common to define the onset phenomenologically, i.e., in terms of the increase in the rate of polymerization. It is proposed here that the onset of the gel effect is best defined on a fundamental basis, i.e., as occurring at that conversion at which the rate of segmental diffusion of the polymeric radicals equals the rate of their translational diffusion. Experimental evidence is presented that shows that the small minima predicted by this definition do exist for both rates and degrees of polymerization. Measurements of the viscosities of solutions of polymers in their monomers suggest that the polymer concentrations at which the “chain-entanglement” phenomena are observed are the same as those for the onset of the gel effect for styrene, methyl methacrylate, and butyl methacrylate.     

“Nascent” Cu(0) nanoparticles‐mediated single electron transfer living radical polymerization of acrylonitrile at ambient temperature

Zn(0)/ppm concentrations of CuBr₂ from 10 to 50 ppm was firstly used to catalyze radical polymerization of acrylonitrile at ambient temperature. The polymerization displayed typical living radical polymerization (LRP) characteristics, as evidenced by pseudo first‐order kinetics of polymerization, linear increase of number‐average molecular weight, and low polydispersity index (PDI) value. Effects of solvent, copper concentration, and initiator concentration on the polymerization reaction and molecular weight as well as PDI were investigated in detail. EC excelled NMP, DMF, and DMSO in terms of rate of polymerization as well as control of molecular weight and PDI. The increase of the copper concentration from 2.5 to 50 ppm leads to a higher rate of polymerization and a better control over the polymerization reaction. ¹H NMR and GPC analyses as well as chain extension reaction confirmed the very high chain‐end functionality of the resultant polymer. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene. I. Effect of reaction conditions on the polymerization

The effect of reaction conditions on the rate of radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene was studied by use of a 500-ml autoclave. Among various kinds of emulsifiers, a series of potassium salts of fatty acids gave high rates of the polymerization. The polymerization was inhibited by the presence of oxygen, but the rate of polymerization followed by the induction period was not influenced by the initial presence of oxygen. Stirring rate and the monomer: water ratio did not affect the rate of polymerization. The rate of polymerization was maximum at about 80°C, and number-average molecular weight was influenced by the temperature in a similar manner as the rate of polymerization. This suggests that the change of mobility of propagating radical in the polymer particle changes the rate of termination reaction. The rate of polymerization was proportional to the 1.7 power of the reaction pressure.
