Notes:
The kinetics of methacryloyl fluoride (MAF) homopolymerization was investigated in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) with azobis(isobutyronitrile) as initiator. The rate of polymerization (Rp) followed the expression Rp = k[AIBN]0.55[MAF]1.18. The overall activation energy was calculated as 74.4 kJ/mol. The relative reactivity ratios of MAF(M2) copolymerization with styrene (r1 = 0.083, r2 = 0.14), and methyl methacrylate (r1 = 0.48, r2 = 0.81) in methyl ethyl ketone were obtained. Application of the Q-e scheme (in styrene copolymerization) led to Q = 2.22 and e = 1.31. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of poly(MAF) was 90°C by thermomechanical analysis. Thermogravimetry of poly(MAF) showed a 10% weight loss of 228°C in air.
