Kinetics of two-step emulsion polymerization of poly( n -butyl methacrylate)/poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer networks

Kinetics of two-step emulsion polymerization of poly( n -butyl methacrylate)/poly(methyl... Abstract Poly(n-butyl methacrylate)/poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer networks were synthesized by two-step emulsion polymerization with sodium dodecylsulfonate and polyoxyethylene nonylphenolether as the emulsifier, distilled water as the continuous medium, and potassium persulfate as the initiator. The kinetics of two-step emulsion polymerization was studied. Effects of emulsifier concentration, initiator concentration, and polymerization temperature on monomer conversion and polymerization rate were investigated in detail. Experimental data indicate that both the steady state polymerization rate and monomer conversion increase with the augment of emulsifier concentration, initiator concentration, or reaction temperature. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Fibers and Polymers Springer Journals
