Notes:
A dye partition method for the determination of hydroxyl endgroups in poly(methyl methacrylate) samples prepared in aqueous media with the use of hydrogen peroxide as the photoinitiator has been described. The dried polymers were treated with chlorosulfonic acid under suitable conditions whereby the hydroxyl endgroups present in them were transformed to sulfate endgroups. Spectrophotometric analysis of sulfate endgroups in the treated polymers was carried out by the application of the dye-partition technique developed for the purpose, and thus a measure of hydroxyl endgroups in the original polymers was obtained. H2O2, in the concentration range of 0.004-0.1M, was found to incorporate an average of nearly 1 OH endgroup per polymer chain.
