Abstract:
A method has been developed to establish the desirable polymerization conditions for the production of monomer-free polymer at 100% conversion. The limits of desirable comonomer composition and solvent content in the feed are determined for both bulk and solution homo- and copolymerizations. An example of the result of the polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate is used to illustrate the application of this method.
