摘要
Vinyl acetate (VAc) was polymerized to about 90% conversion in 9 h at 40? from the colloidal microstructure of the VAc/fumed silica/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) system. The glass transition (T-g) of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) polymerized in these emulsion gels with silica was higher (T-g=41?) than those of PVAc made from bulk polymerization at 60? (T-g=31?) and the weight average molar mass (M-w) was also larger (M-w about 300 kg/mol) than those from bulk polymerization (M-w=125 kg/mol). Increased M-w, T-g, and lowered processing temperature for these composites could facilitate new applications for PVAc.
