Temperature and pH Dependency of Copolymerization Parameters of Acrylic Acid and 2-Hydroxypropyl Acrylate

Summary: Since copolymerization parameters of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) in aqueous solutions are scarcely investigated a new method and different experimental setups were developed to run copolymerization experiments at different temperatures and pH values. The experiments were done with UV- or azo- initiation and analyzed by residual monomer analytics with HPLC and GPC methods. Based on the data obtained the conversion and copolymerization parameters were calculated with different mathematical models.     

Optimal estimation of reactivity ratios for acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymerization

Reactivity ratios for the important acrylamide (AAm)/acrylic acid (AAc) copolymerization system exhibit considerable scatter in previously published literature, and therefore, there is a need for more definitive values for these reactivity ratios. An appropriate methodology, based on the error‐in‐variables‐model (EVM) framework along with a direct numerical integration procedure, is applied in order to determine reliable reactivity ratios. The reliability of the results is confirmed with extensive and independent replication. Furthermore, via an EVM‐based criterion for the design of experiments using mechanistic models, optimal feed compositions are calculated, and from these optimal reactivity ratios are estimated for the first time (r_AAm = 1.33 and r_AAc = 0.23) based on information from the full conversion range. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of styrene/acrylic acid copolymer microspheres: polymerization mechanism and carboxyl group distribution

 Poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (St/AA) copolymer microspheres were prepared by batch emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of St with AA. The monomer conversion, the morphology and the composition of the particles along the polymerization process were monitored by a gravimetric method, transmission electron microscopy observation and Fourier transform IR analysis, respectively. A shift of the polymerization locus from inside the particles to “outside” the particles in the postnucleation stage was proposed. The results of the study of the distribution of carboxyl groups by a combination of elemental and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses implied a core/shell structure for the St/AA copolymer microspheres. By chemical metal deposition, nickel particles were formed and deposited on the surface of St/AA microspheres, forming polymer/metal composite particles.

Reactivity Ratios of Diethyldiallylammonium Chloride with Acrylamide or Acrylic Acid

The compositions of copolymers of diethyldiallylammonium chloride (DEDAAC) with acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA) or sodium acrylic acid (NaAA) at low conversion were determined by elemental analysis, and the reactivity ratios of monomers in copolymerization were obtained by Kelen-Tudos method. The results showed that the reactivity ratios rDE and rAM are 0.31 and 5.27 for DEDAAC with AM, rDE and rAA are 0.28 and 5.15 for DEDAAC with AA, and rDE and rNaAA are 0.40 and 3.97 for DEDAAC with NaAA, respectively. The copolymerizations for DEDAAC with AM, AA or NaAA are non-ideal copolymerization and the products are random copolymers.     

丙烯酸在强碱阴离子交换树脂中的聚合

研究了以水为介质，丙烯酸在强碱阴离子交换树脂中聚合时羧基分配系数随浸泡时间和反应时间的变化，以及树脂残阴交换量随反应时间的变化，结果是羧基分配系数在浸泡一小时后达到平衡，聚合反应开始后分配系数又迅速增大，三小时后达到最大值。残阴交换量随反应进行而减小，三小时后达到最小值。经分析认为丙烯酸的主要聚合场所是在树脂相，聚合过程中单体不断向树脂相扩散，基本不在液相聚合。     

蓝光引发丙烯酸水凝胶的聚合交联动力学

研究了聚丙烯酸(PAAc)水凝胶的蓝光聚合性能及实时光流变行为, 并提出了力学性能相关的经验模型. 以樟脑醌/二苯基碘鎓六氟磷酸盐(CQ/DPI)为蓝光引发体系, 丙烯酸(AA)为单体, 聚乙二醇二丙烯酸酯(PEGDA)为交联剂, 450 nm蓝光为辐照光源, 通过光差示扫描量热法(Photo-DSC)和实时光流变法(Photo-rheology)对不同CQ, DPI, AA浓度及光照强度(I)条件下水凝胶聚合前驱液的蓝光聚合性能及交联特性进行了研究. 结果表明, 水凝胶聚合前驱液的聚合速率(R_p)与CQ, DPI和AA的质量分数(w_CQ, w_DPI和w_AA)以及光照强度(I)的平方根均呈线性关系, 由于量子产率的下降及自由体积效应, 在高浓度CQ及DPI条件下, 聚合速率和双键转化率均出现偏离线性的现象. 通过光流变系统对水凝胶前驱液光聚合交联过程中的凝胶特性及交联动力学进行了研究. 经数据拟合发现, 凝胶时间(t_gel)和弹性模量(G')与相关影响因素(w_CQ, w_DPI和w_AA)分别呈现指数和幂律函数关系, 延迟时间(t_d)及交联速率(R_c)与w_CQ, w_DPI, I和w_AA均呈线性函数关系. 根据上述函数关系提出了描述蓝光聚合交联丙烯酸水凝胶力学性能的经验模型.

Synthesis and Cationic Polymerization of Open-Chain and Cyclic Enol Ethers

Abstract

Several new open-chain and cyclic enol ether monomers were prepared using simple, straightforward procedures. The reactivities of these monomers were compared using both differential scanning photocalorimetry and Fourier transform real-time infrared spectroscopy. In general, these new monomers were found to possess excellent reactivity in photoinitiated cationic polymerization using a diaryliodonium salt photoinitiator.
