A Study on Plasma-Initiated Polymerization of Long Alkyl Chain Methacrylates
Zheng Zhang · Shiyou huagong · 2001
The polymerization of n -alkyl methacrylate( n =8,12,14) was carried out by means of plasma-initiation Many factors affecting the polymer conversion and molecular weight have been studied systematically The polymerization features of the three n -alkyl methacrylates were compared, and the configuration of polymer has been elucidated by NMR The results indicate that plasma-initiated polymerization not only complies with free-radical mechanism but also has the character of living-polymerization [
