- Abstract
Dispersion polymerizations of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide were conducted with three types of comblike fluorinate polymer stabilizers: poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate) (PHDFDMA), poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate) (PTDFOMA), and poly(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl methacrylate) (PPFPMA). The effect of the polymerization pressure was not significant on the mean diameters of the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles from 20 to 40 MPa. However, the coefficients of variation of the particle diameters produced at 20 MPa (√1/(N-1)ΣNi=1 (di-d̅)2/d̅, where d̅ is the number-basis mean particle diameter), where the heterogeneous phase was found before polymerization, were larger than those produced at 30 and 40 MPa, where the homogeneous phase was found. The mean size of the PMMA obtained with PTDFOMA and PPFPMA strongly depended on the stabilizer concentration compared with that obtained with PHDFDMA. Moreover, the mean size decreased as the carbon dioxide-philic side chain length increased. As shown by the results of this study, the best stabilizer among the three types of stabilizers for producing PMMA particles was PHDFDMA.
