Abstract
AbstractCopolymerization of the water‐soluble monomer acrylamide (AAM) with the oil‐soluble monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) and/or styrene (St) in inverse microemulsion initiated with 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile was studied. It was found that the overall polymerization rate increases with increasing mole fraction of AAM in the comonomer mixture, while the composition of the product changes only slightly. The copolymerization process is a typical “dead‐end” polymerization where the limiting conversion corresponds to the AAM concentration in the comonomer mixture. The concentration of MMA, resp. St at the locus of copolymerization was calculated as a function of the AAM mole fraction in the comonomer mixture.
