M. Buback et al., HIGH-PRESSURE FREE-RADICAL COPOLYMERIZATION OF ETHENE AND BUTYL ACRYLATE, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 197(1), 1996, pp. 303-313
The free-radical copolymerization of ethene and butyl acrylate was stu
died between 130 and 225 degrees C at pressures from 1500 to 2500 bar.
The reactions which were induced either thermally or laser-photochemi
cally were run in two types of continuously operated devices. Reactivi
ty ratio data referring to ethene-rich monomer mixtures are presented.
These data allow to estimate the copolymer composition in ethene/buty
l acrylate copolymerizations carried out in a wide range of temperatur
es and pressures.
