Methyl methacrylate was radically copolymerized with oligoglycol dimethacrylate using dioxane or n-butyl acetate as good and poor solvents, respectively. The delay between actual gel point and the theoretical one was much larger in a good solvent. The primary chain length, closely related to gelatio

β¦ Synopsis
The gelation behaviour in the copolymerization of styrene with oligoglycol dimethacrylates (OGMA) has been examined in benzene at 50 Β° and compared with the thermal copolymerization results in toluene at 95 Β°. Gelation was delayed by changing the number (n) of oxyethylene units of OGMA from 1 to 2, but it was accelerated at n = 9. The gel-point conversion decreased with increasing n. The rate of polymerization was almost independent of the cross-linkers and no Trommsdorff effect was observed. These results are in a remarkable contrast with those for the thermal copolymerization, but in line with the results for the copolymerization of methyl mechacrylate with OGMA.

Three-dimensional network formation in the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPMA) is discussed. In order to clarify structural features of the copolymer, the cyclization constant of TMPMA was estimated to be K c = 4.2 mol/l and thus, the TMPMA units i
