摘要
We investigate the polymerization kinetics of microemulsions prepared with the cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and the hydrophobic monomers n-butyl methacrylate. tert-butyl methacrylate, n-hexyl methacrylate, and styrene. Our previous model for microemulsion polymerization kinetics cannot account for the kinetics of these systems. Using the results of small-angle neutron scattering monomer partitioning studies and an extended kinetic model to analyze the data, the failure of the original kinetic model is shown to be due to a combination of nonlinear monomer partitioning, nonnegligible bimolecular termination, and, in some cases, diffusion limitations to propagation.
