bis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride as a catalyst was synthesized using a modified method at the room temperature. polymerization of ethylene and copolymerization of ethylene and propylene were carried out by this metallocene catalyst. ethylene propylene (p/e) feed ratios of 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 were employed into the copolymerization systems. copolymerization conditions like cocatalyst/catalyst ra...

The first detailed study on free-radical polymerization, copolymerization and controlled radical polymerization of the cyclic push-pull-type monomer methylenelactide in comparison to the non-cyclic monomer α-acetoxyacrylate is described. The experimental results revealed that methylenelactide undergoes a self-initiated polymerization. The copolymerization parameters of methylenelactide and styr...

Synopsis. From data in the literature on relatine rates of copolymerization it has been possible to evaluute two constants, Q and e , cheracteristic of a n individual monomer, which appear to account satisfactorily .for its behavior in copolymerization. The constant Q describes the “general monomer reactivity” and is apparently related to possibilities for stabilization in a radical adduct. The...

Controlled routes to prepare polyesters and polycarbonates are of interest due to the widespread application of these materials and the opportunities provided to prepare new copolymers. Furthermore, ring-opening copolymerization may enable new poly(ester-carbonate) materials to be prepared which are inaccessible using alternative polymerizations. This review highlights recent advances in the ri...

Enzymatic ring-opening copolymerization of lactones was carried out by using Pseudomonas f luorescens lipase in bulk. In the copolymerizaton of r-caprolactone (E-CL) and b-valerolactone at 60°C for 10 days a copolymer with molecular weight of 3.7 x 103 was obtained and its structure was found to be of random structure having both units from 13C NMR anlaysis. Effects of the feed ratio, the react...

For many years, copolymerization has been studied using mathematical and statistical models. Here, we present new Markov chain models for copolymerization kinetics: the Bernoulli and Geometric models. They model copolymer synthesis as a random process and are based on a basic reaction scheme. In contrast to previous Markov chain approaches to copolymerization, both models take variable chain le...

The new highly active supported vanadium-magnesium catalyst (VMC) has been studied in α-olefin (1-butene, 1-hexene)/ ethylene copolymerization in the presence of hydrogen. Data on the effect of α-olefin/ethylene ratio in copolymerization on the content of branchings in copolymers, kinetic profile, copolymer yield, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of copolymers have been obtain...

Lightly branched, hyperbranched and cross-linked polymers with clickable sites were synthesized via a modified version of self-condensing photoinitiated copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) with propargyl acrylate (PA). The method is based on the use of a PA monomer containing two polymerizable groups, namely acrylate and propargyl groups with different reactivities in photoinitiated free r...

A chemical equilibrium model of template-controlled copolymerization is presented for describing the outcome of the experimental induced desymmetrization scenarios recently proposed by Lahav and co-workers.
