Abstract
AbstractThe emulsion copolymerization of butyl acrylate and styrene in microwave irradiated condition was investigated. The microwave irradiated condition afforded the enhanced conversion rate at high feeding contents of butyl acrylate monomer feeding and the relative increase of butyl acrylate composition in copolymer com pared with the conventional condition as an water bath heating. The reactivity ratio was calculated from Finemann‐Ross plot, and showed difference between two methods that increased reactivity ratio of butyl acrylate was obtained in microwave irradiated condition. The morphology of copolymer was observed by microscopy, then it was founded that the size of spherical polymer particles in microwave irradiated condition showed more regular than that in conventional heating condition.
