Abstract

The monomer reactivity ratios of free radical copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate in carbon dioxide at vapor-liquid equilibrium state (vlCO2) at 65℃ and under 7.5-8.5 Mpa were measured. The experimental results showed that, in comparison with the data in bulk copolymerization, the monomer reactivity ratio of St in vlCO2 increased acompanied by a somewhat decrease in that of MMA. Further analysis of the sequence distributions of these copolymers by 1H-NMR spectra indicated that there was a significant bootstrap effect in this system. The local monomer concentrations in the proximity of growing free radicals, rather than the true reactivity of monomers or free radicals, were altered by the presence of vlCO2, leading to the change in monomer reactivity ratios.
