Abstract
Kinetics of termonomer emulsion polymerization during interval II (i.e, after completion of latex particle formation) were studied through pseudo-homopolymerization (PHP) method. Extended Smith-Ewart equation and equation of instantaneous polymer composition are respectively reduced to the corresponding equation for homopolymerization by defining average rate constants. Average number of radicals per particle and instantaneous polymer compositions were respectively predicted by varying termonomer composition within latex particles for systems containing no more than one growing radical per particle. Styrene-Methyl methacrylate-Acrylonitrile (SMA) system was used for model calculation.
세 종류의 모노머로 구성된 삼모노머중합의 동력학을 입자성장이 끝난 interval II 동안 pseudo-homopolymerization (PHP) 방법에 의하여 연구하였다. 삼모노머중합의 Smith-Ewart 확장식과 순간중합조성식을 단일유화중합의 해당식과 유사하게 나타낼 수 있었다. 입자당 평균라디칼수와 순간중합조성을 라텍스입자내의 모노머조성을 변화시킴으로써 입자당 자유라디칼수가 한 개 이하인 계에서 예측하였다. 모델계산의 예로서 Styrene-Methyl methacrylate-Acrylonitrile(SMA)계의 속도상수들을 사용하였다.
