摘要
Living radical polymerization of styrene was conducted in a miniemulsion using TEMPO and the water-soluble initiator potassium persulfate (KPS). The effects of initiator concentration and the TEMPO:KPS ratio on conversion, molecular weight distribution, and particle size were studied. The miniemulsion polymerizations exhibit similar characteristics to bulk living radical systems but with unique features attributable to the heterogeneous nature of the system. There is a strong interaction between the KPS concentration and the TEMPO:KPS ratio, and therefore the effects of changing either variable depend strongly on the value of the other variable. Initiator efficiencies are considerably higher than in conventional KPS-initiated styrene emulsion or miniemulsion polymerizations, while the average number of active radicals per particle (similar to 10(-2)) is Much lower. Aqueous-phase kinetics and nitroxide partitioning determine the number of chains initiated and therefore also affect the polymerization rate and molecular weight.
