Simulation of RAFT Dispersion Polymerization in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The RAFT radical polymerization of vinyl monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide was modeled using the Predici® simulation package. The sensitivity of polymerization responses on formulation and process variables was analyzed. The simulations were carried out using kinetic and physical parameters corresponding to the polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide, using AIBN as initiator, at 65 °C and 200 bar, and using values of the addition and fragmentation kinetic rate constants of a “typical” RAFT agent, as reference conditions. This is the first report in the literature addressing the modeling or simulation of RAFT polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide.

A High Efficiency PDMS-Based Stabilizer for Dispersion Polymerization of L-lactide in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Dispersion polymerization of lactides and lactones has been studied and has received a great deal of attention used to prepare biodegradable polymers in supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO₂). The triblock copolymers of poly(?-caprolactone) PCL-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-poly(?-caprolactone) PCL by the feed ratio of 1:2:1 and 1:3:1, respectively were synthesized to be used as the stabilizers in the dispersion polymerization of L-lactide. The fine poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) powders were obtained at the concentrations of 3% to 5%w/w (stabilizer/monomer). The results demonstrated that the triblock copolymers were the effective stabilizers for the dispersion polymerization of L-lactide. It was also found that the cooling process had a significant effect on the particle size of the fine powders. In order to obtain the best PLLA powders, it would be necessary to use the cooling process with stirring.

Free‐Radical Dispersion Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: A Parametric Analysis with Reaction Calorimetry

In an attempt to reduce the emission of hazardous VOCs, SCFs have been intensively investigated as alternative solvents during the last two decades. In this study, the application of reaction calorimetry, an efficient tool to obtain kinetic and safety data, is presented on the free radical dispersion polymerization of MMA in scCO₂. The effect of three major parameters with respect to the reaction evolution are studied, namely of stirrer type and stirring speed, the monomer and CO₂ concentration and the stabilizer concentration. The effective formation of the dispersion as well as the balance between the polymer formed in the continuous phase or inside the particles are key features of this analysis.

     

A Comparison of Modeling Approaches for Dispersion Homopolymerization of MMA and Styrene in Supercritical CO2

A comparison of kinetic models for dispersion polymerization of MMA and styrene in supercritical CO₂ is presented. The limiting case of solution polymerization, as a simplified case, was also addressed. Calculation of the partition of components between the continuous and dispersed phases was emphasized. Experimental data for the solution and dispersion polymerizations of styrene and MMA, using different types of stabilizers, were used to guide the study. Although all the models analyzed can be considered as “adequate” in representing the behavior of the system, some of their strengths and drawbacks have been highlighted.

     

An Experimental Study on the Free‐Radical Copolymerization Kinetics with Crosslinking of Styrene and Divinylbenzene in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

A study on the effect of process conditions and composition of the reacting mixture on the kinetics and particle properties in the copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene in supercritical carbon dioxide is presented. Polystyrene‐block‐polydimethylsiloxane and Krytox 257 FSL (Dupont) were used as stabilizers, and their performance compared. A 38 mL, high‐pressure view cell, equipped with one frontal and two lateral sapphire windows, was used as the reacting vessel. The polymer product was characterized for total monomer conversion, gel content, molecular weight averages of the sol fraction and particle size distribution. Acceptable polymerization rates and partially‐agglomerated spherical particles were produced under the conditions tested.

     

Dispersion Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Control of Molecular Weight Distribution by Adjusting Particle Surface Area

Summary: Experiments of methyl methacrylate dispersion polymerization are carried out in a reaction calorimeter using PDMS-mMA as surfactant. Different stabilizer concentrations from 0 to 10 wt% with respect to monomer have been considered in order to control particle morphology. The analysis by scanning electron microscopy reveals a definite decrease of the total particle surface area at decreasing stabilizer concentration. At the same time, the analysis of the polymer microstructure by gel permeation chromatography shows a trend of the average molecular weight towards smaller values. In particular, a second mode at low molecular weights has been observed leading to bimodal molecular weight distributions. The experimental results are compared with simulation results obtained through a detailed kinetic model developed in previous studies. 1 The key role of the radical exchange between continuous and dispersed phases is confirmed.

Moisture Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells Processed in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Performance degradation under environmental conditions currently limits the practical utility of perovskite-based solar cells. The moisture stability of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite films and solar cells was measured during exposure to three different levels of relative humidity. The films were crystallized at two different temperatures with and without simultaneous exposure to supercritical carbon dioxide. The film crystallinity, optical absorption, and device photoconversion efficiency was measured over time for three relative humidity levels and both crystallization methods. It was determined that film crystallization in supercritical CO₂ resulted in significant improvement in moisture stability for films processed at 50 °C, but negligible improvement in stability for films processed at 100 °C.
