New azo-peroxidic initiators in the radical polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate

Add time:07/15/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Two new azo-perester compounds, di-tert-butyl-6,6′-azobis-(6-cyanoperoxyheptanoate) (6,6-di-tBu) and di-tert-amyl-6,6′-azobis-(6-cyanoperoxyheptanoate) (6,6-di-tAm), synthesized on the basis of 6,6′-azobis-(6-cyanoheptanoic acid) (ACHpA), were investigated for their use in the radical polymerization of styrene (S) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Their characteristics are given, including chemical (IR spectra), thermal (DSC) and kinetic, i.e., thermal decomposition studied by volumetric and gas chromatographic methods. The rate constants and activation energies of the decomposition of both the azo and perester bonds were determined. The new azo-peresters were utilized to initiate the radical solution polymerizations of S and MMA at 60 °C. The kinetic parameters of the processes, i.e., polymerization rate and overall rate constant, were determined. Subsequently, the polymerization products were characterized by IR and DSC. It was found that the perester groups were present in the obtained polymers, and hence, the polymers are “active” for further polymerization.
