摘要
The behaviour of water soluble and monomer soluble inhibitors in emulsion polymerization of monomersfollowing Case Ⅱ kinetics(e.g.styrene)has been investigated.Experimental studies reveal that inhibitors canhave an appreciable effect on both polymer particle nucleation and growth.A mathematical model showingthese effects has been developed and simulation studies have been done.The simulation results imply that theconsequences of these effects of monomer soluble inhibitors for industrial emulsion polymerization may be quiteserious.
The behaviour of water soluble and monomer soluble inhibitors in the emulsion polymerization for Case I system(e.g.vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride)has been studied.The behaviour of monomer soluble inhibitors is shown to be quite different from that observed in Case Ⅱ emulsion polymerization system.Model predictions of the effect of these inhibitors on polymer particle nucleation and growth rate are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with experimental results.
