Mathematical modeling of molecular weight distribution in miniemulsion polymerization with oil‐soluble initiator

Abstract: A mathematical model for the study of reaction kinetics and molecular weight distributions in miniemulsion polymerization systems with oil‐soluble initiators is presented. The mathematical model allows the computation of the evolution of the complete molecular weight distribution with chain lengths of up to 105 mers in miniemulsion polymerization by direct integration in reasonable computational time. Also, no restriction in the kinetic regime is needed, as the model is able to represent both compartmentalized… Show more

“…The polymerization temperature seems to affect the average molar mass, with a decrease in molar mass with increasing temperature (comparing samples PVPi‐01 to 06 with samples PVPi‐07 to 12). This fact can be explained by the increase in the rate of generation of radicals, which causes an increase in the rate of termination of the growing polymer chains, [ 31 ] resulting in lower molar masses when compared to reactions carried out at lower temperatures.…”

“…A fim de verificar as aproximações propostas e determinar os valores de e para sistemas com mais de 20 wt% de coestabilizador saturado, três condições foram testadas na comparação com os dados experimentais, conforme mostra a Tabela 1. Todos os demais parâmetros e coeficientes cinéticos foram mantidos iguais aos utilizados no trabalho anterior [12]. Os dados experimentais de conversão e MWD utilizados são de duas polimerizações em miniemulsão de STY com diferentes quantidades de HD (detalhes das reações na Tabela 2).…”

“…Often flat concentration profiles of monomer and radicals within the polymer particles are considered in emulsion polymerization [30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, in processes carried out at temperatures lower than the Tg of the seed and under severe starved conditions, the concentration of monomer near the particle surface may be greater than in the interior of the particles [36,37].…”
