Popcorn Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate

A Kinetic Study of the Emulsion Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate

This report deals with the chemically and the radiation-initiated emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate. In experiments with potassium persulphate as initiator and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as emulsifier the rate of polymerization is approximately proportional to the square root of initiator concentration and to the 0.25 power of the number of particles. The number of particles is proport...

Soft-Sensing Modeling Method of Vinyl Acetate Polymerization Rate

In the procedure of polyvinyl alcohol production, it is hardly accurate measuring the Vinyl Acetate (VAC) polymerization rate. To solve this awkward situation, this paper adopt Genetic Algorithm-Back Propagation (GA-BP) Neural Network to fit the nonlinear relation of the variables which derives from the production process by setting the VAC polymerization rate as the master variable and the ini...

Generalized predictive control of based on vinyl acetate polymerization rate

The process of VAC polymerization has the characteristics such as nonlinearity, time-varying, disturbance and time-delay, moreover, it can not be achieve continuous on-line detection of the vinyl acetate polymerization rate. The traditional control strategy can't acquire satisfactory result, so the implicit generalized predictive control (GPC) algorithm is applied in the control of polymerizati...

Graft Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate onto Starch. Saponification to Starch-g-Poly(vinyl Alcohol)

Graft polymerizations of vinyl acetate onto granular corn starch were initiated by cobalt-60 irradiation of starch-monomer-water mixtures. and ungrafted poly(vinyl acetate) was separated from the graft copolymer by benzene extraction. Conversions of monomer to polymer were quantitative at a radiation dose of 1.0 IvIrad. However, over half of the polymer was present as ungrafted poly(vinyl aceta...
