Vinyl Toluene Polymerization

A study of butyl acrylate ba and vinyl acetate vac solution homopolymerization and copolymerization in toluene was carried out.

Vinyl toluene polymerization.

125 the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with a urethane group 4 vinyloxybutyl n butylcarbamate and 4 vinyloxybutyl. The polymerization was terminated with prechilled methanol containing a small amount of an aqueous ammonia solution 0 3 wt. Niosh rel twa 100 ppm 480 mg m 3 osha pel twa 100 ppm 480 mg m 3. The polymerization was started by the addition of a prechilled 100 mm sncl 4 solution in toluene 0 25 ml following the addition of a prechilled 100 mm ibve hcl solution in toluene 0 25 ml at 0 c.

The individual vinyl toluene isomers may be used as well as mixtures of two or more of them. Human subjects found the odor detectable at 50 ppm and objectionable at 300 ppm. Acgih mainly an eye and respiratory tract irritant it can cause central nervous system depression after absorption of high doses. The free radical copolymerization of the vinyl monomer and the maleic unsaturation in the polyester is usually initiated by a transition metal organic hydroperoxide system at ambient temperature or by the use of the thermal scission of a diacyl peroxide at higher temperatures.

Vinyl toluene is similar to styrene in its toxicological properties. 124 the fast living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with sncl 4 combined with etalcl 2 in the presence of an ester as an added base was reported. The conversion and copolymer composition were monitored using traditional techniques gravimetry and 1 h nmr spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance fourier transform ir atr ftir spectroscopy with a diamond composite probe and light conduit technology. In a 1946 research paper newkirk described the use of benzoyl peroxide to initiate polymerization 4.

The specification discloses resinous compositions comprising copolymers of alpha methyl styrene and vinyl toluene 95 percent by weight of said copolymers having molecular chain lengths less than 100 angstroms. The character of the copolymer resin may be controlled in various ways. The resins so produced are dissolved in styrene or vinyl toluene. Free radical polymerization frp is a method of polymerization by which a polymer forms by the successive addition of free radical building blocks.

Poly vinyl ether s with a t g as high as 100 c have been obtained in the living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with a bulky tricyclodecane or tricyclodecene unit using hcl zncl 2 in toluene at 30 c. Fatty degeneration of the liver occurs in acute animal studies. The vigor of the reaction may. Following its generation the initiating free radical adds nonradical monomer units thereby growing the polymer chain.
