摘要
Acrylonitrile (AN)-methaerylonitrile (MAN) copolymer particles with a core/shell structure were prepared by suspension polymerization. The particles were about 10-20 mu m in diameter and had a hollow core containing an inert hydrocarbon. The influence of the monomer feed ratio and the polymerization temperature on the particle morphology was studied. One purpose of this study was to determine the boundaries for achieving a core/shell structure with the polymer encapsulating the hydrocarbon. When polymerizing at 62 degrees C, it was found that an initial AN/MAN feed ratio VAN) between 0.15 and 0.9 results in core/shell particles with encapsulated hydrocarbon. f(AN) lower than 0.15 yielded solid particles with no hydrocarbon encapsulated while f(AN) higher than 0.9 yielded particles built up entirely from agglomerates of smaller primary particles. In contrast, when polymerizing at 80 degrees C, a much narrower span f(AN) (0.5-0.85) yielded particles with hydrocarbon encapsulated. The influence on monomer conversion and the molecular weight of the polymer was also studied. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
