    Notes: Radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene with ammonium perfluoro-octanoate as an emulsifier was studied in order to elucidate the effect of the number of polymer particles. Owing to the stable structure of the emulsifier from a radical attack, no C—F bond was detected in the polyethylene as expected. The polyethylene produced was mostly gel containing a small amount of low molecular weight polyethylene. This may be attributable to chain transfer to the polyethylene. The effects of dose rate and of concentration of the emulsifier were determined without considering the chain-transfer reaction to the emulsifier. By considering the escape of the radical which is produced by chain transfer to the monomer from the polymer particle to the aqueous phase at the steady state, the following equation is derived: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{R_p }}{I} = \frac{{K_i K_p ^2 [{\rm N}_{\rm T} ]}}{{2K_0 \alpha R_p }} - \frac{{K_i K_p }}{{K_{0\alpha } }} $$\end{document} The experimental results could be explained by this equation, and the apparent rate constants were obtained.

    Notes: The emulsion copolymerization of ethylene with hexafluoropropylene was studied by using 60Co γ-radiation as the initiator. The apparent rate of copolymerization is proportional to the 1.6 power of ethylene fugacity. The activation volume was calculated from the pressure dependence of the apparent rate constant of copolymerization and was -30 ml/mole, which is smaller than the value reported by Wada et al. for ethylene polymerization in tert-butyl alcohol. The copolymer produced had a broad composition from ethylene-rich to alternative. As expected, the former was a crystalline, polyethylenelike copolymer, but the latter was an amorphous and rubberlike copolymer. The glass transition temperature of the copolymers increased with an increase in hexafluoropropylene content. The thermal degradation temperature in an atmosphere of nitrogen decreased slightly with introduction of hexafluoropropylene in polyethylene, but the thermal degradation behavior in air was complicated by the introduction of hexafluoropropylene.

    Notes: The effects of pressure, temperature, and additives on the rate of radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene with FC-143 as emulsifier were studied kinetically. The rate of polymerization was proportional to the 2.5 power of ethylene fugacity, and the apparent rate constant (rate of polymerization/2.5 power of ethylene fugacity) was constant below 78°C. Above this temperature, the rate constant decreased with an apparent activation energy of -8.2 kcal/mole. These facts can be interpreted in connection with the polymer structure and the change of rate of escape of radicals from the polymer structure and the change of rate of escape of radicals from the polymer particle into the aqueous phase. The rate of polymerization decreased on addition of a series of n-aliphatic alcohols due to the chain-transfer reaction and consequent escape of radicals to the aqueous phase. On the other hand, the addition of tert-butyl alcohol increased the rate of polymerization, probably because of its effect in increasing swelling of the polymer particles. Addition of electrolytes increased the rate of polymeriaztion as a result of the increase of the number of polymer particles.

    Notes: The radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene in a continuous flow system was carried out at 100°C by using FC-143 and potassium myristate. The polymer concentration in the latex during the course of the polymerization oscillated several times and then approached a steady-state value in a few hours in the case of short residence time. The rate of polymerization was almost constant within the residence time range of 0.2-0.9 hr. This is explained by the kinetics assuming the same mechanism previously proposed in the batch system, that is, the number of polymer particles in this range is considered to be constant. Gel formation was observed at longer reaction times in spite of the continuous supply of myristate micelles, possibly because large polymer particles are produced in this stage. The concentration of carbonyl group in the polymer produced by chain transfer to absorbed myristate ion changes in the same way as the polymer concentration with reaction time. The methyl group in the polymer is produced mainly by chain transfer to the polymer, and the concentration is nearly constant during the polymerization except in the initial stage. The rate constants for the continuous polymerization were very different from the batch polymerization previously studied, despite their similarities in nature. The mass transfer rate of the emulsifier from the micelles to the polymer particles requires future study.

    Notes: The effect of reaction conditions on the rate of radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene was studied by use of a 500-ml autoclave. Among various kinds of emulsifiers, a series of potassium salts of fatty acids gave high rates of the polymerization. The polymerization was inhibited by the presence of oxygen, but the rate of polymerization followed by the induction period was not influenced by the initial presence of oxygen. Stirring rate and the monomer: water ratio did not affect the rate of polymerization. The rate of polymerization was maximum at about 80°C, and number-average molecular weight was influenced by the temperature in a similar manner as the rate of polymerization. This suggests that the change of mobility of propagating radical in the polymer particle changes the rate of termination reaction. The rate of polymerization was proportional to the 1.7 power of the reaction pressure.

    Notes: Radiation-induced emulsion polymerization of ethylene with potassium myristate as an emulsifier was studied in connection with the kinetics and the mechanism. The molecular weight of polymer was relatively low, of the order of 103, when a sufficient amount of emulsifier was used. However, polyethylene gel was produced in the absence of a sufficient amount of emulsifier. The rate of polymerization was proportional to the 0.5 power of dose rate and increased slightly with increasing emulsifier concentration. The rate of seeded polymerization followed a similar trend to that for conventional polymerization. Kinetic analysis of these results suggests that the escape of radicals produced by chain transfer of propagating radical with the emulsifier and the monomer from polymer particles into the aqueous phase plays an important part in the rate of polymerization. The melting temperature and the crystallinity of the polymer significantly decreased with increasing polymerization temperature in the range 40-60°C.

    Notes: Radiation-induced polymerization of ethylene using tert-butyl alcohol aqueous solution as a medium was carried out in a pilot plant with 10 liter reactor at pressures of 100 to 400 kg/cm2, ethylene feed rates of 1.2 to 11.8 kg/hr, medium feed rates of 0 to 100 liter/hr, dose rates of 0.6 × 105 to 1.4 × 105 rad/hr, and at room temperature. The space-time yield and molecular weight of polymer were in the range of 1.2 to 16.7 g/liter hr and 6 × 103 to 2 × 105, respectively. The space-time yield and molecular weight increased with pressure and mean residence time. The space-time yield was the maximum at an ethylene molar fraction of 0.5. The produced polymer was continuously taken out from the high-pressure system as a slurry. The amount of deposited polymer to the reactor wall was markedly decreased, and five full days continuous operation was successfully performed with the space-time yield of 13.5 g/liter hr.
