Term used herein " dispersion " is used to refer to the external phase that disperse phase is wherein arranged.Disperse phase exists under zone of dispersion or particle shape, if must stablize by tensio-active agent or stablizer.Dispersion is used for being applied to many possible material compositions, includes, but not limited to emulsion, ultra-fine emulsion, microemulsion, precipitation, colloidal dispersion and colloidal suspension.
Term used herein " stablizer " means tensio-active agent, stablizer and other dispersing auxiliary.
Under situation about not being bound by any particular theory, think that small grain size adds careful control initiator and monomeric adding, produce the particle that stable having is trapped in inboard free radical.Because granularity is little,, cause termination speed to descend to the full extent so that free radical is subjected to is sterically hindered.
The method of production polymeric dispersions of the present invention comprises: careful telo merization condition is so that generation and maintenance contain the small-particle of holding back free radical.This concentration by careful adjusting initiator, monomer and stablizer realizes.These are adjusted to the maximization of particle nucleation and minimization of particle size creates conditions.Polymeric dispersions of the present invention generally contains water as external phase.Water-containing solvent external phase that also can application mix is as water/mixable alcohol.In addition, also can use inverse emulsion technology.Hereinafter general narration and embodiment mainly narrate water continuous phase.Those skilled in the art can be applied to other paradigmatic system with identical notion and technology.
In the polymeric the first step, in reactor, add entry, stablizer and radical initiator, and adjusting condition is so that produce free radical.Free radical can produce by heat, redox, uv-radiation, gamma-radiation or other method, depends on selected initiator system.After free radical forms, add raw material monomer, the situation that keeps monomer to lack.Reaction always lacks the monomer that becomes initial reaction phase from initiator and lacks.
The polymeric fs is created in the dispersion of polymer particle in the dispersion medium, preferably in water.Each polymer particle on average contains one or more reactive polymer free radicals.Preferred particle on average contains at least 2 reactive polymer free radicals, more preferably at least 5 reactive polymer free radicals, also more preferably at least 10 reactive polymer free radicals, most preferably at least 20 reactive polymer free radicals.Having produced each polymer particle contains and surpasses 100,1000 or even 10,000 and the particle of more reactive polymer free radical.Reactive polymer particle of the present invention exists under the condition that does not have chemical end-capping reagent known in the art, that add for the temporary protection living radical.Later on temporary transient chemical end-capping reagent is reversible and living radical is exposed.
The living radical of holding back in dispersion particle under the thermal initiation condition keeps the time longer than seven half-lives of initiators, and preferred 15hr at least is most preferably more than several days.The living radical of holding back in redox and other initiator system also has the long life-span, keeps 10min at least.
In case the dispersive monomer reaction to being bordering on 100%, generally is up to 5-10 half-lives of initiators, can add other monomer then in the polymer particle that contains many living radicals.Under the situation that adds same monomer, can form higher molecular weight polymer.Because the termination of particle is controlled, can the controlling polymers molecular weight to the molecular weight that produces any requirement, greater than 3,000,000 molecular weight can produce.Other monomer also can be one or more different monomers, thereby forms segmented copolymer.The inventive method can be produced pure segmented copolymer, because in fact before adding second monomer, all monomers of the first step all should consume.Second the step monomer can advantageously be different from the first step monomer fully, for example, a kind of monomer be hydrophilic and another kind of be hydrophobic situation.Use the inventive method, can access the segmented copolymer and the new segmented copolymer combination of hydrophilic and oleophilic.Present method is not subjected to the restriction of reactivity ratio, only is subjected to the restriction of diffusion and would rather say so.By controlling in the reaction that provides in the inventive method, also can production tapered polymers composition.
