The crosslinked copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) in bulk and in toluene has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The appearance of a second peak, in addition to that arising from the gel effect, noted in curves of bulk copolymerization rate (fraction of EDMA mE = 0.20) is explained by the formation of microgels during the copolymerization. With mE = 0.50–1.00, copolymerization proceeds heterogeneously at first, providing opaque microgels, which become transparent polymer in a later stage at a weight fraction of toluene wT ≦ 0.20 and independent polymer particles at wT ≧ 0.30. A diagram is given which illustrates three types of copolymerization depending on initial composition of monomers and toluene. Final conversions for mE ≦ 0.10 agree well with predictions. Copolymerization at mE ≧ 0.20 ceases because of reduction of segmental mobility due to dense network formation in microgel, though the whole system is not yet in glassy state. Data of final conversions in solution copolymerization also support the above mechanism.
Aus den Enaminosulfonen (I) und den Enaminonitrilen (IV) werden mit den Hydrochloriden von primären Aminen (II) bzw. (V) die N‐substituierten Enamine (III) bzw. (VI) erhalten.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
