Suspension Polymerization of Styrene Monomer without Emulsifier and Initiator.

the effects of temperature, initiator and stabilizer on polymer particle size in suspension polymerization of styrene

in suspension polymerization, particle size distribution of polymer is the outcome of dynamic equilibrium between the break up and coalescence phenomena. the rates of break up and coalescence and consequently polymerization stability depend on several parameters, the most important of which are type and concentration of stabilizer. in this study, the effects of type and concentration of stabili...

Initiator-chain transfer agent combo in the RAFT polymerization of styrene.

The combo agent with roles of initiator and chain transfer agent was demonstrated in RAFT polymerization of styrene. Polymers with defined structures at both α and ω ends were obtained, which was verified by the successful synthesis of seven-block segments of PS and PMA by sequential addition of monomers in one pot.

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.
