Abstract
The kinetics of nitroxide-mediated dispersion copolymerization with crosslinking of styrene (STY) and divinylbenzene (DVB) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is addressed experimentally. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) and dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO) were used as nitroxide controller and initiator, respectively. A high-pressure cell with lateral sapphire windows at 120 °C and 207 bar was used to carry out the polymerizations. The nitroxide-mediated homopolymerization (NMP) of STY, as well as the conventional radical copolymerization (FRC) of STY/DVB, at the same conditions were also carried out as reference and for comparison purposes. The effect of nitroxide content on polymerization rate, evolution of molecular weight averages, gel fraction, and swelling index was studied.
