Copolymerization of n-butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate in xylene solvent

Self-structuring in amphiphilic networks prepared by single conventional radical copolymerization of n- butyl methacrylate and vinylpyrrolidone

Graft Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate onto Cellulose in Homogeneous Medium – Effect of Solvent and Initiator

Homogeneous graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto cellulose was carried out in N, N – dimethyl acetamide/LiCl (DMAc/LiCl) and dimethyl sulfoxide/ paraformaldehyde (DMSO/PF) solvent system taking ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN), benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and tin (II)-2ethyl hexanoate [Sn(Oct)2] as initiators. Different grafting parameters like graft yield (GY), grafting efficiency (...

Kinetics of the Radical Copolymerization of 2,2,2- Trifluoroethyl methacrylate with tert-Butyl - trifluoromethacrylate

The radical copolymerization of two different methacrylate monomers, 2,2,2trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) and tert-butyl -trifluoromethacrylate (TBTFMA) in solution was investigated. The resulting statistic poly(TFEMA-co-TBTFMA) copolymers were characterized by NMR spectroscopy to assess their compositions. The kinetics of copolymerization enabled one to determine the reactivity ratios of ...

Nanomechanical Measurements on Ultra - thin Poly ( n - butyl methacrylate ) Films

Submitted for the MAR08 Meeting of The American Physical Society Nanomechanical Measurements on Ultra-thin Poly(n-butyl methacrylate) Films. SHANHONG XU, GREGORY MCKENNA, Texas Tech University, TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY TEAM — The mechanical properties of ultra-thin poly (n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) films were investigated by the novel bubble inflation technique developed in our lab. Creep experim...

Calorimetric study of block-copolymers of poly(n-butyl acrylate) and gradient poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate)

The nanophase separation in diblock and triblock copolymers consisting of immiscible poly(n butyl acrylate) (block A) and gradient copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and n butyl acrylate (n BA) (block M/A) were investigated by means of their heat capacity, Cp, as a function of the composition of the blocks M/A and temperature. In all copolymers studied, both blocks are represented by their...
