Matrix, styrene polymerization model

All the experiments were conducted with the same amount of active metal (0.54 mg Pd) at 40 °C and at a H2-partial pressure of SOOmmHg. The molar ratio of Pd to the substrate was 1 2070. It was shown that catalysts, the functional groups of which decreased the retention time of the substrate in the polymer matrix or enhanced the substrate solubility in the polymer matrix, catalyzed the hydrogenation of styrene more effectively. Such catalyst types included Jt-acceptor or hydrophobic supports. During the hydrogenation of allyl acrylate of the polar substrate model, the catalytic activity depended on both the -acceptor and polar properties of the polymeric supports. Thus, a definite relationship was determined between properties of functional groups and the respective polymers.
