Abstract:A hygroscopic and polymerizable salt (2-methacryloyloxy]ethyl trimethylammonium chloride) is used to ion exchange the sodium ion in AOT (bis2-ethylhexyl]sulfosuccinate, sodium salt) to produce a polymerizable form of AOT, MDOS (2-methacryloyloxy]ethyl trimethylammonium bis2-ethylhexyl]sulfosuccinate). A partial ternary phase diagram of water, MDOS, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was determined at room temperature (22 +/- 1 degrees C). A relatively large L2 domain is obtained, but this domain is smaller than that obtained with AOT. Microemulsion polymerization in this domain at 70 degrees C, using AIBN (azoisobutyronitrile) as an initiator, produces an optically clear copolymer solid domain nearly as large as the L2 domain. This interesting behavior contrasts with similar studies of Pavel and Mackay Langmuir 2000, 16, 8528] using a polymerizable surfactant DDAMA (didecyldimethylammonium methacrylate) that produced a much larger L2 domain than MDOS but yielded a much smaller optically clear domain after thermally initiated polymerization. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that optically clear composites obtained at an MDOS/MMA weight ratio of 1:4 and containing 5% water (w/w; weight % water in microemulsion) released the water in a transition commencing around 160 degrees C and continuing to 250 degrees C. Thereafter, the thermal decomposition was substantially impeded relative to poly(methyl methacrylate) as a control, which was due to the fire-resistant nature of the MDOS monomer. Molecular weight measurements indicate MDOS/MMA copolymers form substantially higher molecular weights as the proportion of MDOS increases. At a given radius of gyration, higher MDOS-containing copolymers exhibit higher molecular weights, suggesting a more compact structure with increasing MDOS.
