The two-component redox-initiation system, cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) and tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA), was used to polymerize dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) in the presence of synthetic polyisoprene latexes. The modified latex particles are postulated to possess a ‘hairy layer’ of surface-grafted poly(DMAEMA) chains formed via an abstraction reaction between cumyloxy radicals and the...
Kinetic behavior in emulsion polymerization can be conveniently assigned as either 'zero-one' or 'pseudo-bulk'. Sufficiently small particles in emulsion polymerizations obey zero-one kinetics, where entry of a radical into a particle which contains a growing radical leads to instantaneous termination. Pseudo-bulk kinetics applies to particles in which more than one free radical can co-exist for a...
Seeded and ab initio emulsion polymerizations of isoprene using redox initiation systems were investigated and suitable reaction conditions determined to prepare polyisoprene latexes with minimal cross-linking. Polymerizations initiated with the potassium persulfate/sodium bisulfite (KPS/SBS) redox couple had a significant inhibition period and low yield. Polymerizations initiated with the tert-butyl...
