Abstract:The radical polymerisation of acrylic acid is largely concentration dependent and affected by the type of the surrounding solvent. This work investigates reaction rate constants, the activation energy, heat flux and the molecular weight in the industrially relevant synthesis of low molecular mass acrylic acid polymers in 2‑propanol. The polymerisations were carried out isothermally in an RC1e calorimeter with inline Raman spectroscopy for monomer concentration monitoring. For a non-neutralised acrylic acid in … Show more
