The complex formation between allylamine and mineral acids (HCl, H 2 SO 4, 3 PO 4 ) their stabilities were investigated by Uv-Vis, DSC TGA analyses. Free radical polymerization of salts was achieved using 2,2?-azobis (2-methylpropanediamine)dihydrochloride at 50 o C under N atmosphere in water. PAlAm synthesized the presence insoluble water due to physical crosslinking chains. They converted so...

A novel method for synthesis of amphiphilic macrocyclic graft copolymers with multi-polystyrene lateral chains is suggested, by combination of anionic ringopen polymerization (AROP) with atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The anionic ring-opening copolymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) and ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether (EEGE) was carried out first using triethylene glycol and diphenylmet...

Polymethylmethacrylate-graphene (PMMA/RGO) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ bulk polymerization using two different preparation techniques. In the first approach, a mixture of graphite oxide (GO) and methylmethacrylate monomers (MMA) were polymerized using a bulk polymerization method with a free radical initiator. After the addition of the reducing agent hydrazine hydrate (HH), the pro...

This paper presents an experimental study of the self-initiation reaction of n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) in free-radical polymerization. For the first time, the frequency factor and activation energy of the monomer self-initiation reaction are estimated from measurements of n-BA conversion in free-radical homo-polymerization initiated only by the monomer. The estimation was carried out using a macr...

A recently introduced technique, simultaneous multiple sample light scattering (SMSLS), was used to monitor parallel polymerization reactions in situ. SMSLS is designed for real-time, high-throughput screening and provides a time-dependent light scattering signature for each reaction, which contains both qualitative and semiquantitative information. Qualitatively, the signature immediately indi...

Conventional synthesis of polymers by ATRP is relatively low throughput, involving iterative optimization of conditions in an inert atmosphere. Automated, high-throughput controlled radical polymerization was developed to accelerate catalyst optimization and production of disulfide-functionalized polymers without the need of an inert gas. Using ARGET ATRP, polymerization conditions were rapidly...

The introduction of thioester linkages into the backbone free-radical polymerization-produced polymers has received recently renewed interest due to their use in preparing (bio)degradable polymers.
