In polymerisation

Methacrylate monomers are shipped in bulk quantities, tank cars, or tank tmcks. Mild steel is the usual material chosen for bulk storage faciUties for these monomers, although stainless steel (Types 304 and 316) is also recommended for the esters and is a necessity for the acids. Moisture must be excluded to avoid msting and contamination of the monomers. Copper (qv) or copper alloys (qv) must not be allowed contact with acryUc monomers intended for use in polymerisation because copper is an inhibitor (28).

Dapon 35 of FMC and a similar Japanese product have been studied by gel permeation chromatography. Hydrogen peroxide acts as a regulator as well as initiator, and gives relatively large fractions of oligomers. In polymerisation between 80 and 220°C gelation occurs at 25—45% conversion (70).

Much of recent development in polymerisation technology has been devoted to establishing control of the MWD of LLDPE polymers. With such polymers, naiTowing the MWD confers higher toughness, greater clarity, lower heat seal... 

Typically, the reaetion would be carried out at 140°C in white spirit with potassium carbazole as a catalyst. Davidge ° has reported problems in polymerisation of V-vinyl carbazole prepared from carbazole obtained from coal tar, attributing this to the presence of sulphur. To overcome these problems carbazole has been prepared synthetically by reactions of cyclohexanone with...

Polyphenols are ubiquitous in all plant organs where they are found as monomers or in polymerised forms (Schofield et al, 2001). In addition to the beneficial effect of poljq)henols, they also bind minerals and precipitate proteins and carbohydrates, in effect reducing the nutritive value of foods. Polyphenols have been classified for nutritional purposes into extractable and non-extractable types (Bravo, 1998). Extractable polyphenols are low-and intermediate-weight phenolics while non-extractable polyphenols have high molecular weight and are insoluble in normal solvents.

Over the last few years the DCA and ACA compounds have been the subject of a number of interesting chemical developments including their use as templates in polymerisation 23,24), and as media for stereospecific chemical reactions 98 100). This work has been carried out on the orthorhombic systems and is therefore outside the scope of this review. 

A major difference between both kind of syntheses lies in polymerisation kinetics in the former case there is a chain mechanism (initiation, propagation, termination), in the latter case there is no chain reaction and each step is equiprobable. Main comparison points are highlighted in Table 4 [9].
