摘要
The effects of maleic acid and styrene on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) have been studied. Both comonomers play a considerable role in terms of particle size and MMA conversion. The polymerization of MMA in the presence of maleic acid can result in larger particles and a higher MMA conversion. However, in the presence of styrene, the polymerization process yields smaller particles and low MMA conversion. This can be related to the different properties of maleic acid and styrene. Maleic acid, a hydrophilic and electron-withdrawing comonomer, can play a positive role in stabilizing the particles and increasing MMA activation. However, for styrene, these effects are reversed due to its opposite properties. The change in particle size may be caused by the change in particle stabilization. The change of MMA conversion can be kinetically attributed to the effects of maleic acid and styrene on the activation process. (C) 2004 Society of Chemical Industry.
