Knowledge‐based choice of the initiator type for monomer removal by postpolymerization

The mechanisms involved in monomer removal by postpolymerization were investigated to establish a criterion to select the most effective initiator systems. Three redox systems yielding radicals of different hydrophobicities were studied. Efficiency in monomer removal by postpolymerization increased with the hydrophobicity of the radical formed from the initiator system. This result was independent of the water solubility of the residual monomer. The mechanistic reasons for this finding are discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

微波聚合制备单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯微球

在微波辐照下,通过甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)的无乳化剂乳液聚合,制备出粒径单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)微球。微波显著缩短聚合诱导期,加快聚合反应,其部分原因是微波加快引发剂过硫酸钾(KPS)的分解。实验证明微波辐照下KPS的表观分解活化能(ED)由128.3kJ/mol降低到106.0kJ/mol。单体浓度是影响PMMA乳液粒子尺寸的主要因素,在[MMA]小于0.3mol/L时,平均粒径随单体浓度提高而线形增加;[MMA]为0.3～1.0mol/L时,平均粒径稳定在约200nm;之后随单体浓度进一步增加,乳液稳定性变差。引发剂浓度增加对平均粒径影响较小,但增大引发剂浓度可显著降低粒径分散度。选取[MMA]为0.23～0.3mol/L、[KPS]为3×10-3～6×10-3mol/L可以得到粒径200nm的单分散微球。以丙酮/水(体积比1/3)为反应介质,可制备出数均粒径45nm的PMMA纳米粒子。在体系中加入3.5×10-3mol/L的Cu2+,可制备出数均粒径67nm、单分散的PMMA纳米粒子。     

乙烯基硅烷-丙烯酸酯乳液共聚动力学研究

以乙烯基三乙氧基硅烷(VTES)、丙烯酸酯为单体,乙氧基醇磺基琥珀酸二钠(A—102)为乳化剂,合成了有机硅改性丙烯酸酯共聚乳液。研究了乳化剂、引发剂、VTES、反应温度以及功能性单体甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯(HEMA)对乳液共聚反应速率的影响。结果表明:聚合速率随乳化剂浓度、引发剂浓度、HEMA浓度的增大及反应温度的升高而增大,但随VTES浓度增大而逐渐减小。由实验得出恒速阶段聚合反应速率R_p与乳化剂浓度C_E、引发剂浓度C_1及有机硅单体浓度C_(VTES)的关系为R_p∝C_E~(0.35)C_I~(0.48)C_(VTES)~(-0.64),表观活化能E_a为81.1kJ·mol~(-1)。

ABSTRACT

Silicone-in-fluorocarbon-in-water double emulsions were prepared by controlling carefully the characteristics of the emulsions composed of silicone, perfluoropoly-ethoxymethoxy difluorohydroxyethyl ether (PFPE–OH) and fluorosurfactant. In the emulsion formulation, PFPE–OH incorporated had a great influence on the droplet morphology and the stability of double emulsions. Moreover, it was observed that among the fluorocarbons, the silicone-in-fluorocarbon-in-water double emulsions could be formed effectively in the presence of a fluorosurfactant. The double emulsions prepared in this study maintained their initial emulsion stability for a long time at high temperature, meaning great usefulness in the cosmetic industry.

Microporous, fast response cellulose ether hydrogel prepared by freeze-drying

A simple and effective method of preparing fast-response gels is developed. The freeze-drying and subsequent rehydration of thermosensitive gels alters the microstructural properties of the gels in a way that leads to rapid shrinking rates. Microporous hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) gels were created by this method to investigate the influence of the process on the swelling and shrinking kinetics of the gels in response to temperature changes. Micropores of different size ranges were produced by freezing gels with different amounts of water at −20 °C. Water content was the key factor to control the microporosity and the shrinking rates of gels. After the freezing treatment, an effective diffusion coefficient for shrinking could be determined by fitting Fick's law to the data (5.2 × 10⁻⁴ cm²/s). This was an increase of two orders of magnitude over that of the untreated, non-porous gel (6.0 × 10⁻⁶ cm²/s). The magnitude of the shrinking coefficient indicates that the shrinking rate of the microporous gel is probably limited by the convective flow, as unsteady flow through porous media follows the same differential equation as Fick's law, but with much greater transport coefficients, as observed here. Physically, the shrinking rate may be determined by the level of interconnected-cells in a microporous structure present at the beginning of shrinking process because the convection through the interconnected-cells is estimated to be much slower than the polymer network diffusion rate of the struts of micropores (0.1–3.0 μm) as well as heat transfer.
