Study of Dye Encapsulated Microcapsule Polymerization Using Styrene Monomer

Simulation and Optimization of Styrene Monomer Production Using Neural Network

Gold-promoted styrene polymerization.

Styrene can be polymerized at room temperature in the presence of equimolar mixtures of the gold(III) complexes (NHC)AuBr3 (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene ligand) and NaBAr'4, in the first example of a gold-induced olefin polymerization reaction.

Adsorption of styrene monomer on activated carbon.

Styrene is discharged particulary from the factories of styrene resin and synthetic rubber, and it was listed as one of the offensive odor substances by the Offensive Odor Control Law in Japan at 1976. Styrene vapor has stimulating action on eye (STEWART et al. 1968) and membrana of nose and trachea (STEPHENSON & FOSDICK 1960). It has toxic effects on blood cells and liver (KATZ 1962), and nerv...

Pickering Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene-co-butyl Acrylate Nanoparticles by Using Cloisite Na+ as Surfactant

Cloisite Na+was used as a solid surfactant (stabilizer) in Pickering emulsion polymerization of styrene-co-butyl acrylate in presence of oil soluble initiator, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and water soluble initiator, potassium persulfate (KPS). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum approved the corporation of Cloisite Na+ layers within the polymer matrix. Effect of clay content was a...

Photoinitiated Polymerization of Styrene in Microemulsions

Photoinitiated polymerization of styrene in oil/water microemulsions has been successfully performed by using dibenzyl ketone (DBK) as initiator. The system remains transparent during the whole polymerization process. The molecular weights of polymers produced are in the order of IO5, and the polydispersity indexes (PDI) are in the range 1.6-2.2. The particle sizes of the latexes produced are i...
