Synthesis of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers through interface-initiated room-temperature polymerization
Journal Article Reaction Chemistry and Engineering · May 7, 2024 Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymers were synthesized in emulsions and silica-containing emulsion gels at 20, 40, and 60 °C. The room-temperature polymerization was achieved by decomposing 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) at oil-water interfa ...

Journal Article Polymers · October 2023 Homopolymers of n-butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, and their random copolymers were prepared via interface-initiated polymerization of emulsion gels at 20 °C. The polymerization was conducted in a free radical polymerization manner without ine ... Full text CiteEco-Friendly Room-Temperature Polymerization in Emulsions and Beyond
Journal Article Polymer Reviews · January 1, 2023 This review highlights the effectiveness and robust nature of eco-friendly room-temperature polymerization initiated in emulsions, and some of its applications in polymer and materials science. The polymerization in emulsions initiated through a thermal or ... Full text CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
