A Cationic Polymerization of Phenylcyclopropane

Wavelength tunability in photoinitiated cationic polymerization

Onium salts, widely used cationic photoinitiators, have absorption in the short wavelength of the UV spectrum. However, their spectral sensitivity can be tuned up to the visible region by using several methods. Photosensitization of onium salts, their charge transfer complex formation and their free radical promotion are some techniques that are used to provide wavelength flexibility. This chap...

Cyclic Oligomers in the Cationic Polymerization of Heterocycles

The cationic polymerization of heterocyclic monomers may lead to polymers containing substantial, yet Variable amounts of cyclic oligomers. This review gives a survey of the systems where such oligomers have been found. Oligomer formation is generally observed in the polymerization of oxiranes and thiiranes. The most frequently observed oligomers are the cyclic dimers and cyclic tetramers but o...

Preparation of cationic polyacrylamide by aqueous two-phase polymerization

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) was synthesized by aqueous two-phase polymerization technique using acrylamide (AM) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride (DMC) as raw materials, aqueous polyethylene glycol 20000 (PEG 20000) solution as dispersant, 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V-50) as initiator and poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride) (PDMC) as st...

Emulsion Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate in the Presence of a New Cationic Surfactant

In this study, the emulsion homopolymerization system containing vinyl acetate, potassium persulfate, a new cationic polymeric surfactant and water was studied by the applying semi-continuous emulsion polymerization process. The effects of new polymeric emulsifier on the physicochemical properties of obtained vinyl acetate latexes were investigated depending on vinyl acetate percentage in the p...
