摘要
The dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in dense carbon dioxide, initiated by gamma-rays, utilizing different polysiloxanes as polymeric stabilizers, was investigated. The progress of the reaction, as a function of the irradiation dose, was also studied and the occurrence of a gel effect has been detected. For comparison, the dispersion polymerization has been carried out in supercritical conditions (T = 65degreesC and 38 MPa) in the presence of 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as initiator. High molecular weight polymer (M-w > 1000 kg/mol) with narrow molecular weight distribution has been obtained both with gamma-rays and AIBN. The electron scanning micrographs show that regular spherical particles (average diameter ca. 2.5 mum) with narrow particle size distribution have been obtained through the dispersion polymerization mechanism in CO2.
