Notes:
New procedures have been developed to study the mechanism and kinetics of the crosslinking of acrylic polyols with hexa (methoxymethyl) melamine. Both the rate of gel formation and alcohol release are found to be affected by the concentration and the nature of the catalyst and to be proportional to the hydrogen ion concentration. The rate of gel formation can be modeled by using the Miller and Macosko procedure with the input consisting of the polymer composition and the rate of release of reaction products. The correlation between calculated and experimentally determined quantity of gel formed is good when the reactions are slow, but becomes poor when gel formation is rapid, suggesting that the formation of large rings is favored by rapid reaction. The rate of gel formation shows much less variation among different polymer systems than does the rate of release of reaction products from the crosslinking reaction.
