Thermally and light-induced polymerization of ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, studied by DSC

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a useful method for studying polymerization reactions. Due to the heat of polymerization, high temperatures may develop. In order to prevent the reaction from running out of control, polymerizations should be carried out very slowly. Even then, an irregular kinetic behaviour has been observed in the initial stage of the reaction. A method is described for studying light-induced polymerizations at high temperatures. It is found that the rate of polymerization and the temperature of the reaction are of more importance than the method of initiation.
