Abstract

음이온개시제인 <TEX>$K_2S_2O_8$</TEX> (KPS)와 양이온개시제인 2,2' azobis(2-methyl-propionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIBA)를 이용하여 MMA와 BMA 단량체간의 무유화공중합을 성공적으로 수행하여 PSD가 1.002~1.008인 단분산성이 우수한 poly(BMA-co-MMA)와 PBMA 라텍스들을 제조하였다. 실험결과, 160~494 nm 범위의 수평균입자경과 (1.25~7.55) <TEX>${\times}10^4$</TEX> 범위의 수평균분자량을 나타내었다. MMA/BMA 유화중합에 따르는 중합속도와 단량체 및 개시제 농도, DVB/EGDMA 가교제 농도, 중합온도 변화에 따르는 수평균입자경과 수평균분자량의 영향을 조사하였다. MMA/BMA 단량체 중 MMA 농도가 증가함에 따라 중합속도가 증가하였으며 일반적으로 이들 라텍스의 평균입자경과 평균분자량은 MMA/BMA 단량체중량비, 단량체량, 개시제량, 중합온도에 따라 쉽게 조절됨을 발견하였다. Narrowly dispersed poly(BMA-co-MMA) and PBMA latices (PSD : 1.002~1.008) were synthesized successfully by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization with 2,2' azobis(2-methyl-propionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIBA) and <TEX>$K_2S_2O_8$</TEX> (KPS). The number average particle diameter and the number average molecule weight were found to be 160~494 nm and (1.25~7.55) <TEX>${\times}10^4$</TEX>, respectively. The influences of BMA/MMA ratio, monomer and initiator concentrations, addition of DVB/EGDMA crosslink agent, and polymerization temperature on the polymerization rates and on the particle size and molecular weight were studied. The rate of polymerization increased with increasing MMA concentration in BMA/MMA weight ratio. The particle diameter as well as the polymer molecular weight could be controlled easily by controlling the BMA/MMA weight ratio, monomer concentration, AIBA and KPS concentration, and polymerization temperature.
