The difference of a factor of 2 between these values comes about because the conditions were chosen to give the same rates. Since a given micelle-swollen polymer particle is active only half of the time, it must produce chains which are twice as long to polymerize at the same rate as the bulk case. Reducing Rj by 1/4 produces the following effects on the calculated quantities ... [Pg.402]

Emulsion polymerization also has the advantages of good heat transfer and low viscosity, which follow from the presence of the aqueous phase. The resulting aqueous dispersion of polymer is called a latex. The polymer can be subsequently separated from the aqueous portion of the latex or the latter can be used directly in eventual appUcations. For example, in coatings applications-such as paints, paper coatings, floor pohshes-soft polymer particles coalesce into a continuous film with the evaporation of water after the latex has been applied to the substrate. [Pg.403]

When initiator is first added the reaction medium remains clear while particles 10 to 20 nm in diameter are formed. As the reaction proceeds the particle size increases, giving the reaction medium a white milky appearance. When a thermal initiator, such as AIBN or benzoyl peroxide, is used the reaction is autocatalytic. This contrasts sharply with normal homogeneous polymerizations in which the rate of polymerization decreases monotonicaHy with time. Studies show that three propagation reactions occur simultaneously to account for the anomalous auto acceleration (17). These are chain growth in the continuous monomer phase chain growth of radicals that have precipitated from solution onto the particle surface and chain growth of radicals within the polymer particles (13,18). [Pg.278]

Since polymer swelling is poor and the aqueous solubiUty of acrylonitrile is relatively high, the tendency for radical capture is limited. Consequentiy, the rate of particle nucleation is high throughout the course of the polymerization, and particle growth occurs predominantiy by a process of agglomeration of primary particles. Unlike emulsion particles of a readily swollen polymer, such as polystyrene, the acrylonitrile aqueous dispersion polymer particles are massive agglomerates of primary particles which are approximately 100 nm in diameter. [Pg.278]

The problems of monomer recovery, reaction medium viscosity, and control of reaction heat are effectively dealt with by the process design of Montedison Fibre (53). This process produces polymer of exceptionally high density, so although the polymer is stiU swollen with monomer, the medium viscosity remains low because the amount of monomer absorbed in the porous areas of the polymer particles is greatly reduced. The process is carried out in a CSTR with a residence time, such that the product k jd x. Q is greater than or equal to 1. is the initiator decomposition rate constant. This condition controls the autocatalytic nature of the reaction because the catalyst and residence time combination assures that the catalyst is almost totally expended in the reactor. [Pg.280]

The inverse emulsion form is made by emulsifying an aqueous monomer solution in a light hydrocarbon oil to form an oil-continuous emulsion stabilized by a surfactant system (21). This is polymerized to form an emulsion of aqueous polymer particle ranging in size from 1.0 to about 10 pm dispersed in oil. By addition of appropriate surfactants, the emulsion is made self-inverting, which means that when it is added to water with agitation, the oil is emulsified and the polymer goes into solution in a few minutes. Alternatively, a surfactant can be added to the water before addition of the inverse polymer emulsion (see Emulsions). [Pg.33]

Dispersion Resins. Polytetrafluoroethylene dispersions in aqueous medium contain 30—60 wt % polymer particles and some surfactant. The type of surfactant and the particle characteristics depend on the appHcation. These dispersions are appHed to various substrates by spraying, flow coating, dipping, coagulating, or electro depositing. [Pg.354]

Suspension polymerization of VDE in water are batch processes in autoclaves designed to limit scale formation (91). Most systems operate from 30 to 100°C and are initiated with monomer-soluble organic free-radical initiators such as diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate (92—96), tert-huty peroxypivalate (97), or / fZ-amyl peroxypivalate (98). Usually water-soluble polymers, eg, cellulose derivatives or poly(vinyl alcohol), are used as suspending agents to reduce coalescence of polymer particles. Organic solvents that may act as a reaction accelerator or chain-transfer agent are often employed. The reactor product is a slurry of suspended polymer particles, usually spheres of 30—100 pm in diameter they are separated from the water phase thoroughly washed and dried. Size and internal stmcture of beads, ie, porosity, and dispersant residues affect how the resin performs in appHcations. [Pg.386]

Water-soluble initiator is added to the reaction mass, and radicals are generated which enter the micelles. Polymerization starts in the micelle, making it a growing polymer particle. As monomer within the particle converts to polymer, it is replenished by diffusion from the monomer droplets. The concentration of monomer in the particle remains as high as 5—7 molar. The growing polymer particles require more surfactant to remain stable, getting this from the uninitiated micelles. Stage I is complete once the micelles have disappeared, usually at or before 10% monomer conversion. [Pg.23]

An expression for the number of particles formed during Stage I was developed, assuming micellar entry as the formation mechanism (13), where k is a constant varying from 0.37 to 0.53 depending on the relative rates of radical adsorption in micelles and polymer particles, r is the rate of radical generation, m is the rate of particle growth, is the surface area covered by one surfactant molecule, and S is the total concentration of soap molecules. [Pg.23]

During Stage I the number of polymer particles range from 10 to 10 per mL. As the particles grow they adsorb more emulsifier and eventually reduce the soap concentration below its critical micelle concentration (CMC). Once below the CMC, the micelles disappear and emulsifier is distributed between the growing polymer particles, monomer droplets, and aqueous phase. [Pg.23]

Stage II Growth in Polymer Particles Saturated With Monomer. Stage II begins once most of the micelles have been converted into polymer particles. At constant particle number the rate of polymerization, as given by Smith-Ewart kinetics is as follows (27) where is the... [Pg.24]

Three generations of latices as characterized by the type of surfactant used in manufacture have been defined (53). The first generation includes latices made with conventional (/) anionic surfactants like fatty acid soaps, alkyl carboxylates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates (54) (2) nonionic surfactants like poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(vinyl alcohol) used to improve freeze—thaw and shear stabiUty and (J) cationic surfactants like amines, nitriles, and other nitrogen bases, rarely used because of incompatibiUty problems. Portiand cement latex modifiers are one example where cationic surfactants are used. Anionic surfactants yield smaller particles than nonionic surfactants (55). Often a combination of anionic surfactants or anionic and nonionic surfactants are used to provide improved stabiUty. The stabilizing abiUty of anionic fatty acid soaps diminishes at lower pH as the soaps revert to their acids. First-generation latices also suffer from the presence of soap on the polymer particles at the end of the polymerization. Steam and vacuum stripping methods are often used to remove the soap and unreacted monomer from the final product (56). [Pg.25]

Initia.tors, The initiators most commonly used in emulsion polymerization are water soluble although partially soluble and oil-soluble initiators have also been used (57). Normally only one initiator type is used for a given polymerization. In some cases a finishing initiator is used (58). At high conversion the concentration of monomer in the aqueous phase is very low, leading to much radical—radical termination. An oil-soluble initiator makes its way more readily into the polymer particles, promoting conversion of monomer to polymer more effectively. [Pg.25]

The newly formed short-chain radical A then quickly reacts with a monomer molecule to create a primary radical. If subsequent initiation is not fast, AX is considered an inhibitor. Many have studied the influence of chain-transfer reactions on emulsion polymerisation because of the interesting complexities arising from enhanced radical desorption rates from the growing polymer particles (64,65). Chain-transfer reactions are not limited to chain-transfer agents. Chain-transfer to monomer is ia many cases the main chain termination event ia emulsion polymerisation. Chain transfer to polymer leads to branching which can greatiy impact final product properties (66). [Pg.26]

Nonaqueous Dispersion Polymerization. Nonaqueous dispersion polymers are prepared by polymerizing a methacryhc monomer dissolved in an organic solvent to form an insoluble polymer in the presence of an amphipathic graft or block copolymer. This graft or block copolymer, commonly called a stabilizer, lends coUoidal stabiUty to the insoluble polymer. Particle sizes in the range of 0.1—1.0 pm were typical in earlier studies (70), however particles up to 15 pm have been reported (71). [Pg.268]

Slurry (Suspension) Polymerization. This polymerization technology is the oldest used for HDPE production and is widely employed because of process engineering refinement and flexibHity. In a slurry process, catalyst and polymer particles are suspended in an inert solvent, ie, a light or a... [Pg.383]

Processes for HDPE with Broad MWD. Synthesis of HDPE with a relatively high molecular weight and a very broad MWD (broader than that of HDPE prepared with chromium oxide catalysts) can be achieved by two separate approaches. The first is to use mixed catalysts containing two types of active centers with widely different properties (50—55) the second is to employ two or more polymerization reactors in a series. In the second approach, polymerization conditions in each reactor are set drastically differendy in order to produce, within each polymer particle, an essential mixture of macromolecules with vasdy different molecular weights. Special plants, both slurry and gas-phase, can produce such resins (74,91—94). [Pg.387]
