Catalytic Chain Transfer in a Miniemulsion Copolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate and <i>n</i>-Butyl Acrylate

Abstract

This paper reports on the application of catalytic chain transfer (CCT) in miniemulsion copolymn. It has been found that Co(Et)4BF has a similar chain transfer activity in bulk as CoBF. CCT copolymns. of MMA and BA can be performed in miniemulsion; large mol. wt. redns. are achieved, and at high conversions significant macromer incorporation occurs. [on SciFinder (R)]
