Evidence for two gel effects during the bulk polymerization of ethyl acrylate from DSC, Rayleigh and brillouin scattering

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

DSC studies of the bulk polymerization of ethyl acrylate have revealed the occurrence of irregular kinetic behaviour during the initial stage of the reaction at less than 5 per cent monomer conversion. Simultaneously, a maximum in the 90° Rayleigh scattering was observed. The transient inhomogeneity and the shoulders on the rate-time curves are attributed to a localized gel effect which precedes the general gel effect.
