Abstract

Solution copolymerization of styrene(St.) with methyl methacrylate(MMA), ethyl methacrylate(EMA) and n-butyl methacrylate(BMA) was carried out with benzoylperoxide(BPO) as an initiator in toluene at $80^{\circ}C$ in a continuous stirred tank reactor. Reaction volume and residence time were 0.6 liters and 3hours, respectively. The monomer reactivity ratios, $r_1(St.)$ and $r_2(RMA)$ determined by both the Kelen-Tudos method and the Fineman-Ross method were $r_1(St.)=0.60(0.61),\;r_2(MMA)=0.59(0.60);\;r_1(St.)=0.65(0.62),\;r_2(EMA)=0.55(0.52);\;r_1(St.)=0.75(0.67),\;r_2(BMA)=0.63(0.56)$. The cross-termination factor $\Phi$ of the copolymer over the entire St. compositions ranged from 0.26 to 0.96. The $\Phi$ factors of St.-RMA copolymer were increased with increasing St. content. The simulated conversions and copolymerization rates were compared with the experimental results. The average time to reach dynamic steady-state was three times and half of the residence time.

스티렌(St.)과 메타크릴산 메틸(MMA), 메타크릴산 에틸(EMA), 및 메타크릴산 부틸(n-BMA)을 용매인 톨루엔에서 과산화벤조일(BPO)를 개시제로 사용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 연속반응기를 사용하여 용액공중합을 행하였다. 반응물 부피와 체류시간은 각각 0.6 L와 3시간으로 하였다. Kelen-Tudos법(또는 Fineman-Ross법)으로 결정한 단량체 반응성비 $r_1(St.)$$r_2(RMA)$$r_1(St.)=0.60(0.61),\;r_2(MMA)=0.59(0.60);\;r_1(St.)=0.65(0.62),\;r_2(EMA)=0.55(0.52);\;r_1(St.)=0.75(0.67),\;r_2(BMA)=0.63(0.56)$와 같았다. 공중합체의 가교정지인자, $\Phi$값은 스티렌의 전체 조성에 대해 0.26~0.96을 보였으며 공중합체내 스티렌 조성이 증가할수록 $\Phi$값도 증가하였다. 시뮬레이션한 전환율과 공중합 속도를 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 동적인 정상상태에 도달하는 평균시간은 체류시간의 3.5배였다.
