摘要
The continuous photopolymerization of acrylate and methacrylate monomer miniemulsions (25% solids content) is investigated at room temperature in a compact helix minireactor. Using n-butyl acrylate, the process yields 95% conversion after only 27 s residence time, and gel-free high-molecular-weight products. Under optimized conditions, a 25-fold increase in efficiency is obtained when compared to a batch photopolymerization. The reaction set-up offers a frugal process because of moderate irradiance (2.6 mW cm(-2)), photoinitiator concentration (0.75 wt%), and low-power UV-A fluorescent lamp.
