The results of the monomer applications are given in Table II and Figures 1-6. None of these treatments shows much promise since all tensile and tear strengths are below that of the untreated degraded fabrics. No significant change in fabric stiffness occurs.

Today, many different routes are known which use different persistent radicals [54-58]. Among these, TEMPO is by far the most widely used, even though it suffers very limited applicability to monomers unlike styrene, and requires high operating temperatures (about 120-140°C). More recent studies were aimed to reduce the operating temperature and to broaden the monomer applicability so as to enlarge the spectrum of block copolymers accessible by this technique [58]. Despite these efforts, the range of application remains quite limited.

Block copolymers can be s)mthesized by alternative techniques to CCTP, but these have disadvantages. Cationic polymerization is limited by the amount of monomers applicable anionic polymerization requires low temperature, which is not feasible for application to plant reactors and GTP requires protection of any acidic monomers. Certain living free radical techniques have also been investigated but drawbacks still remain with respect to conversion, color, and catalyst removal. CCTP provides a new way to prepare hydroxyl-functional graft copolymers that show excellent drying. 

Surface active electrolytes produce charged micelles whose effective charge can be measured by electrophoretic mobility [117,156]. The net charge is lower than the degree of aggregation, however, since some of the counterions remain associated with the micelle, presumably as part of a Stem layer (see Section V-3) [157]. Combination of self-diffusion with electrophoretic mobility measurements indicates that a typical micelle of a univalent surfactant contains about 1(X) monomer units and carries a net charge of 50-70. Additional colloidal characterization techniques are applicable to micelles such as ultrafiltration [158]. 

The generally low chemical, mechanical and thennal stability of LB films hinders their use in a wide range of applications. Two approaches have been studied to solve this problem. One is to spread a polymerizable monomer on the subphase and to polymerize it either before or following transfer to the substrate. The second is to employ prefonned polymers containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups.

Applications. The applications sought for these polymers include composites, stmctural plastics, electronics/circuit boards, aircraft/spacecraft coatings, seals, dental and medical prosthetics, and laser window adhesives. However, other than the early commercialization by Du Pont of the NR-150 B material, Httie development has occurred. These polymers are quite expensive ( 110 to 2200 per kg for monomers alone). 

Eor most polymer applications the removal of the inhibitors from the monomer is unnecessary. Should it be requited, the phenolic inhibitors can be removed by an alkaline wash or by treatment with a suitable ion-exchange resia. Uninhibited MMA is sufftcientiy stable to be shipped under carehiUy controlled temperature and time restrictions. Uninhibited monomers should be monitored carehiUy and used promptiy.
