Methyl methacrylate-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate

The first case is the copolymerization of monomer A with diene BB where all the double bonds (i.e., the A double bond and both B double bonds) have the same reactivity. Methyl methacrylate-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM), vinyl acetate-divinyl adipate (DVA), and styrene-p- or m-divinylbenzene (DVB) are examples of this type of copolymerization system [Landin and Macosko, 1988 Li et al., 1989 Storey, 1965 Ulbrich et al., 1977]. Since r = Yi, Fi = f and the extent of reaction p of A double bonds equals that of B double bonds. There are p[A] reacted A double bonds, p[B] reacted B double bonds, and p2[BB] reacted BB monomer units. [A] and [B] are the concentrations of A and B double bonds,... 

Optically active phosphine monoester 69 was prepared as a stable transition state analogue of the hydrolysis of 70, and used as a template (Scheme 13.17) [52], When heated in the presence of amidine 72, methyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and AIBN, polymerization took place and offered the polymer 73, in which the template 69 is attached to the binding sites by a combination of hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. After washing in the presence of MeOH and aqueous NaOH, the template was removed from the cavity, thus leading to a catalytically active MIP. 

Any relatively involatile monomer with the vinyl (CH2 = CH-) or vinylidene (CH2 = C<) grouping present is theoretically suitable. In practice, many are not sufficiently reactive. Of the remainder, styrene is very reactive and cheap. It is usually the chief (or only) monomer, but may have a comonomer such as vinyl toluene, methyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triallyl cyanurate or diallyl phthalate. 

Similar data are available with styrene/divinylbenzene and methyl-methacrylate/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymers (the second molecule providing cross-links). 

An internal-reflection prism cell has been used for reaction-kinetics measurement of styrene-unsaturated polyester resins at elevated curing temperatures and pressures [133]. Other researchers have estimated the cross-linking efficiency in methyl methacrylate-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer networks by laser Raman spectroscopy [134], while recently...

Acryhc stmctural adhesives have been modified by elastomers in order to obtain a phase-separated, toughened system. A significant contribution in this technology has been made in which acryhc adhesives were modified by the addition of chlorosulfonated polyethylene to obtain a phase-separated stmctural adhesive (11). Such adhesives also contain methyl methacrylate, glacial methacrylic acid, and cross-linkers such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate [97-90-5]. The polymerization initiation system, which includes cumene hydroperoxide, N,1S7-dimethyl- -toluidine, and saccharin, can be apphed to the adherend surface as a primer, or it can be formulated as the second part of a two-part adhesive. Modification of cyanoacrylates using elastomers has also been attempted copolymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene ethylene copolymers with methylacrylate or copolymers of methacrylates with butadiene and styrene have been used. However, because of the extreme reactivity of the monomer, modification of cyanoacrylate adhesives is very difficult and material purity is essential in order to be able to modify the cyanoacrylate without causing premature reaction. 

One of the calculation results for the bulk copolyroerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate at 70 C is shown in Figure 4. Parameters used for these calculations are shown in Table 1. An empirical correlation of kinetic parameters which accounts for diffusion controlled reactions was estimated from the time-conversion curve which is shown in Figure 5. This kind of correlation is necessary even when one uses statistical methods after Flory and others in order to evaluate the primary chain length drift. 

The previous concepts may be illustrated with the experimental determination of the evolution of reaction rate, measured by DSC at T = 60°C, for the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with variable amounts of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), a vinyl-divinyl system (Sun et al., 1997). The reaction was initiated with 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexanoyl)peroxy hexane.

The move towards catalytic reactions was initiated in 1983 by Hopkins and William. Phthalimide attached to a methacrylate residue acted as template. Hydrolysis after microgel formation with methyl methacrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl-methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate left behind cavities possessing primary amine groups. Sha selectivity was confirmed by determination of hydrolysis rates between different 4-nitrophenyl esters. An acetate was hydrolysed considerably faster than a caproate [147]. Four years later Leonhardt and...

Addition of typical crosslinking agents,such as 20% diallyl phthalate, 10% ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1% maleic anhydride or 1% itaconic anhydride, to the isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate so that after curing a more rigid,insoluble, hydrolytically stable polymeric adhesive might be formed,does not increase the strength of the dentin-poly(methyl methacrylate) joint. Perhaps the cross-linked adhesive possesses decreased resistance to the thermal shock encountered by the test specimens. 

The system may be modelled initially by considering a system in which all the fimctional groups are the same type chemically and so have the same reactivity. Some typical systems would be monomer styrene (PhCH=CH2) and crosslinker divinyl benzene (CH2=CH Ph CH=CH2), and monomer methyl methacrylate (CH2=CMeCOOMe) and crosslinker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (CH2=CMeC00CH2CH200CMeC=CH2). 

Figure 1.26. A schematic diagram for the formation of a crosslinked network by the polymerization of a monofunctional monomer, e.g. methyl methacrylate (MMA), in the presence of a difimctional crosslinker, such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Gelation occurs at low conversion (pc 12%-20%). Adapted from Pascualt et al. (2002).

Predict the extent of reaction at which gelation would occur in the following two vinyl-divinyl systems, both containing 1 mol% of the divinyl component (a) styrene-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and (b) methyl methacrylate-divinyl benzene. Assume that the reaction conditions for the two systems are such as to yield the same DP. of 1000 for the uncrosslinked polymer. Take the r and T2 values from Table 7.1 for the analogous vinyl-vinyl copolymerizations. [Ans. (a) Pc = 0.015 (b) p, = 0.012.]...

Problem 7.17 Bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) at 60°C with 0.9 g/L of benzoyl peroxide yielded a polymer with a weight average degree of polymerization of 8600 at low conversions. Predict the conversions of MMA at which gelation would be observed if it is copolymerized with 0.05 mol% of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) at the same temperature and initiator concentration as in the homopolymerization case.
