Polymerization of Isoprene with a Redox System in Emulsion

Polymerization of isoprene with a Redox System in Emulsion [Pg.179]

Safety precautions Before this experiment is carried out, Sect. 2.2.5 must be read as well as the material safety data sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals and products used. [Pg.179]

Most emulsion polymerizations are performed with water-soluble initiators however, the following experiment describes a redox polymerization where one component (dibenzoyl peroxide) is water-insoluble, while the other is water-soluble. [Pg.179]

A 100-ml standard apparatus (round-bottomed flask, several inlets for stirrer, reflux condenser, nitrogen flux or vaccum,thermometer, heating bath) is evacuated and filled with nitrogen three times.The following solutions are prepared a) 500 mg of sodium oleate (or sodium dodecyl sulfate) in 16 ml of degassed water b) 125 mg (0.32 mmol) [Pg.179]
