摘要
The homogeneous controlled/'living' free radical polymerization of n-butyl methacrylate in toluene or o-xylene at 90 degreesC, in bulk and in solution, using the novel combination of the catalyst bis-triphenylphosphine iron(II)chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2.4H(2)O(PPh3)(2)) with ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate ((CH3)(2)CBrCO2Et)) and alpha,alpha-dichloroacetophenone (CHCl2COPh) as initiators has been investigated. The rate of polymerization initiated by the two initiators exhibited first-order kinetic with respect to the monomer. A linear increase of the number-average molecular weight (M-n) versus monomer conversion was observed for these systems. Among the two initiation systems, ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate gave the fastest polymerization rate. A system with Fe3+ added at the beginning of the polymerization was examined and the lowest polydispersity (M-w/M-n similar to 1.2) was found when 10% Fe3+, relative to Fe2+ was added.
