The kinetics of graft copolymerization in a five-component system of inverse emulsion
starch/monomer/emulsifier/water/oil
was investigated with cassava starch and acrylamide (AM) as the raw material
ammonium persulfate as the initiator and a mixture of two kinds of surfactants (Span-80 and OP-4) as the emulsifier.The rate orders of graft copolymerization with respect to the concentration of initiator
monomer
starch and emulsifier were determined.In the polymerization process
termination of fast chain and termination of slow chain existed at the same time.The effect of the concentration of the individual components in the polymerization system on conversion were investigated.The results showed that the dependence of the polymerization rate Rp on the concentration of components in the polymerization system could be expressed for all four components by the following equation: Rp∝[I]0.93[M]1.28[St]1.47[E]0.61.The overall activation energy for the polymerization process was 82.01 kJ8226;mol-1 at 35—55℃.Based on the experimental results
some aspects of the polymerization mechanism were discussed.
