MORPHOLOGY EVOLUTION OF POLY（St-co-BuA）/SILICA NANOCOMPOSITE PARTICLES SYNTHESIZED BY EMULSION POLYMERIZATION

Poly（St-co-BuA）/silica nanocomposite latexes were synthesized via conventional emulsion polymerization in the presence of 3-（trimethoxysilyl）propyl methacrylate modified colloidal nano-silica. The effects of surface property, particle size and content of colloidal nano-silica as well as the concentrations of monomer and surfactant on the morphology of nanocomposite latex particles were investigated by transmission electron microscope （TEM） and scanning electron microscope （SEM） in detail. Various interesting morphologies such as grape-like, Chinese gooseberry-like, pomegranate-like and normal core-shell structures were observed. Droplet nucleation mechanism competing with micelle nucleation mechanism was proposed to explain the morphological evolution of the nanocomposite particles.     

SYNTHESIS OF BOWL-LIKE PARTICLES BY EMULSION POLYMERIZATION AND RELEASE BEHAVIOR OF SOLVENT FROM THE PARTICLES

1. INTRODUCTION Hollow particles have been produced usually by the alkali swelling procedure (ASP), dynamic swelling method (DSM), and water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) emulsion polymerization [1]. Because particles can reserve various chemicals in their hollow, they could be used as reservoir and release material [2]. But almost all the work was to make hollow spheres. One kind of hollow particles, the bowl-shaped polymer particles have some advantages because of their special shape [3~6]…     

PARTICLE MORPHOLOGY OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE)RESIN PREPARED BY SUSPENDED EMULSION POLYMERIZATION

Suspended emulsion polymerization was used to prepare poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin. Fine PVC particleswere formed at low polymerization conversions. The amount of fine panicles decreases as conversion increases anddisappears at conversions greater than 30%. Scanning electron micrographs show that PVC grains are composed of looselycoalesced primary particles, especially for PVC resins prepared in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) dispersant. The size ofprimary particles increases and porosity decreases with the increase of conversion. In view of the particle features of PVCresin, a particle formation mechanism including the formation of primary particles and grains is proposed. The formationprocess of primary particles includes the formation of particle nuclei, coalescence of particle nuclei to form primary particles,and growth of primary particles. PVC grains are formed by the coagulation of primary particles. The loose coalescence ofprimary particles is caused by the colloidal stability of primary particles and the low swelling degree of vinyl chloride in the primary particles.     

INFLUENCES OF WATER-SOLUBLE CATIONIC MONOMERS ON THE POLYMERIZATION RATE IN THE INVERSE EMULSION

This investigation deals with the free radical polymerization both of (2-methacryloyloxy-ethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride (QACEMA) and of diallyldimethyl ammoniumcbloride (DADMAC) in inverse emulsion. The influences of some factors, such as theconcentration of monomers, initiator and emulsifier are discussed. The polymerization rateequations of above two monomers can be written as follows:R_p= k[M]~(1.21) [I]~(0.82) [E]~(0.57) (for QACEMA)R_p= k'[M]~(1.34) [I]~(0.90)[E]~(0.62)(for DADMAC)     

MICRON CORE-SHELL PARTICLES PREPARED BY GRAFTING POLYMERIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE FROM NARROW DISPERSE SURFACE OF CHLOROMETHYLATED POLYDIVINYLBENZENE VIA ATRP

Grafting of poly(methyl methacrylate) from narrow disperse polymer particles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated. Polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization with poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as the stabilizer. Chloromethylated PDVB was used as initiating core sites for subsequent ATRP of methyl methacrylate with CuBr/bpy as catalyst system. It was found that poly(methyl methacrylate) was grafted not only from the particle surfaces but also from within a thin shell layer, leading to particles size increases from 2.38-3.00μm with a core-shell structure particles. The grafted core-shell particles were characterized with FTIR, SEM, DSC.     

KINETIC STUDIES ON THE POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE INITIATED BY METALLIC MAGNESIUM-NITRIC ACID SYSTEM

This article reports the polymerization kinetics of acrylonitrile initiated by metallic magnesiumnitric acid system. The rate of polymerization is independent of the amount of magnesium used; when the concentration of nitric acid is higher than acrylonitrile, the equation of polymerization kinetics may be expressed asR_p =1.91×10~5e~(-15000)/RT[Mg]~0 [AN]~(2.2) [HNO_3]~(0.45)The result of copolymerization of acyrlonitrile and methyl acrylate supports a free-radical mechanism.

PREPARATION OF POLY（ETHYLENEGLYCOL-co-ACRYLIC ACID） MICROSPHERES WITH DIVINYLBENZNE AS CROSSLINKER BY DISTILLATION-PRECIPITATION POLYMERIZATION

Monodisperse poly（poly（ethyleneglycol） methyl ether acrylate-co-acrylic acid） （poly（PEGMA-co-AA）） microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization with divinylbenzene （DVB） as crosslinker with 2,2＇- azobisisobutyronitrile （AIBN） as initiator in neat acetonitrile without stirring. Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.     

STUDIES ON THE RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION OF TETRAHYDROFURAN Ⅳ. COPOLYMERIZATION OF TETRAHYDROFURAN AND PROPYLENE OXIDE INITIATED BY FUMING SULFURIC ACID AND PERCHLORIC ACID CATALYST SYSTEM

The yield of copolymerization of tetrahydrofuran and propylene oxide (THF:PO=100:5—15, by wt.) using a binary catalyst of fuming sulfuric acid (21% or 28%) and perchloric acid is around 50—60%, and the loss of THF in the reaction is below 10—15%. The average molecular weight of the product can be controlled in the range of 1000—2000 by varying the binary catalyst system. The present method, which is different from the usual copolymerization initiated by BF_3-diol or SbCl_5-diol system, shows the pecularities i.e. the yield of copolymerization with the low PO feed is not decreased, the hydroxyl functionality is equal to 2, and the end-groups are predominantly primary hydroxyls (around 65—70%).
