Abstract

Polymers of acrylonitrile having a predetermined substantially uniform degree of polymerization are prepared by the aqueous solution polymerization of acrylonitrile, or mixtures thereof with up to 20 per cent of other polymerizable compounds such as vinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrole, and methacrylic compounds, by placing an aqueous solution containing a minor proportion of a water-soluble polymerization catalyst, such as ammonium persulphate, in a closed reaction zone, dissolving in the solution an amount of acrylonitrile which produces a predetermined overpressure by its vapour pressure, and then effecting polymerization at constant temperature, adding additional acrylonitrile as the reaction proceeds sufficient to maintain the overpressure within a range extending over at most 50 mm. Hg., until the reaction is substantially completed. The molecular weight of the polymeric product is a function of the overpressure of the acrylonitrile monomer, higher pressures producing polymers of higher molecular weights. The aqueous reaction medium may be acidified to a pH of 4 with nitric acid.
