Abstract

Automatic continuous online monitoring of polymerization reactions (ACOMP) was used to assess quantitatively the reactivity, average composition drift and distributions, as well as molar mass and intrinsic viscosity evolution of comonomers from the acrylate and methacrylate families during free radical copolymerization. In the latter case, N- methacryloxysuccinimide (MASI) was of chief interest because of its promise as a starting ...
