RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate: observation of unexpected constraints when employing a non-ionic steric stabilizer block
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a non-ionic steric stabilizer for the RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate leads to flocculated nanoparticles when targeting DPs > 100; there is no such constraint employing an anionic block.

Kinetics of Emulsifier-Free Emulsion Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate
The influences of polymerization temperature, initiator and monomer concentrations, ionic strength of the aqueous phase, as well as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) comonomer, on the kinetics of the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and on the properties of the resulting poly(methy1 methacrylate) (PMMA) lattices were studied. The polymerizations were carr...
متن کاملPolymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Block Copolymer Nano-objects via RAFT Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization
In this Perspective, we discuss the recent development of polymerization-induced self-assembly mediated by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous dispersion polymerization. This approach has quickly become a powerful and versatile technique for the synthesis of a wide range of bespoke organic diblock copolymer nano-objects of controllable size, morphology, and surface f...
متن کاملNon-ionic amphiphilic block copolymers by RAFT-polymerization and their self-organization
Water-soluble, amphiphilic diblock copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. They consist of poly(butyl acrylate) as hydrophobic block with a low glass transition temperature and three different nonionic water-soluble blocks, namely, the classical hydrophilic block poly(dimethylacrylamide), the strongly hydrophilic poly(acryloyloxyethyl meth...
متن کاملSynthesis of well-defined epoxy-functional spherical nanoparticles by RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization†
The environmentally-friendly synthesis of epoxy-functional spherical nanoparticles has been achieved using polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in aqueous solution. Firstly, a non-ionic hydrophilic stabilizer block, poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) (PGMA), was prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) solution polymerization in ethanol. This water-soluble precurs...
متن کاملReverse Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was successfully carried out in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate with 2,2 -azobisisobutyronitrile/CuCl2/bipyridine as the initiating system, which had been reported as not able to promote a controlled process of MMA in bulk. The living nature of the polymerization was confirmed by kinetic studies...
