The aqueous heterogeneous polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by the Ce⁴⁺-glycolic acid (GA) redox system was studied at 35 × 0.2°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The rate of monomer disappearance was proportional to [MMA]¹[GA]¹[Ce⁴⁺]°, and the rate of eerie ion disappearance was found to be directly proportional to [Ce⁴⁺] and [GA] but independent of [MMA]. The activation energy was found to be 34 kJ/mol. The molecular weight of polymethyl methacrylate increased with increasing [MMA] and decreased with increasing [oxidant]. The effect of increasing [H₂SO₄] on polymerization was also studied. The results are compared with those obtained for the aqueous homogeneous polymerization of acrylamide with the same redox pair.

Photograft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate on Wool Using Ce4+ -Oxalic Acid Redox Initiator in a Limited Aqueous System

Abstract

Photograft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate on reduced wool (reduction done by treatment with thioglycollic acid, TGA) was studied at nearly 30°C using a Ce⁴⁺ -oxalic acid redox initiator system in a limited aqueous system (2.7 mL water for 0.15 g wool). Reduction of wool for 16 h with 15% TGA solution produced optimum grafting effects. Percent grafting and grafting efficiency under different sets of conditions were studied and compared, and the mechanism of grafting discussed. Generation of grafting sites (radical centers) on reduced wool was more effective in the presence of light than in the dark. Percent grafting of 250–350% and grafting efficiency of 65-80% over a conversion range of 60–90% in 3–5 h were easily obtained.
