β¦ Synopsis
Free-radical polymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and of butyl acrylate (BA) in fluid C02 were studied by means of pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) and molecular weight analysis of the resulting polymer using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). With the PLP-SEC technique propagation rate coefficients, k,, were determined. Depending on the monomer concentration, k, values are up to 40% smaller than corresponding data for bulk polymerizations of MMA and BA.

The propagation rate coefficient in free-radical bulk polymerization of butyl methacrylate has been studied at temperatures between -10Β°C and 60 "C up to a maximum pressure of 2000 bar. The data were obtained by means of the PLP-GPC technique which combines pulsed-laser polymerization with product a
