Abstract:
A polymerization process comprising: heating a mixture comprised of a free radical initiator, a stable free radical agent, at least one polymerizable monomer compound, and optionally a solvent, to form a polymer with a high monomer to polymer conversion and a narrow polydispersity, wherein said polymer is comprised of a covalently bound free radical initiator fragment at one end and a covalently bound stable free radical compound at the other end of the polymer, and wherein said stable free radical agent has high thermal, acidic, and photochemical stability.
Abstract:
A polymerization process for the preparation of homopolymeric acrylate containing thermoplastic resin or resins comprising heating a mixture comprised of a free radical initiator, an oxo nitroxide stable free radical agent, at least one polymerizable acrylate monomer compound, and optionally a solvent, to form a homopolymeric acrylate containing thermoplastic resin or resins with a high monomer to polymer conversion and a narrow polydispersity.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a free radical polymerization process for the preparation of a thermoplastic resin or resins comprising heating a mixture of a free radical initiator, a stable free radical agent, and at least one polymerizable monomer compound to form a thermoplastic resin or resins with a high monomer to polymer conversion; cooling said mixture; optionally isolating the thermoplastic resin or resins; and optionally washing and drying thermoplastic resin or resins. Related free radical processes are also disclosed for the preparation of mixtures and block copolymer thermoplastic resins. Resins prepared by the disclosed processes possesses a narrow polydispersity and a modality that is controlled by the selection of a free radical initiator and stable free radical agent addition step or steps.
