Vn. Kislenko et Aa. Berlin, KINETICS OF GRAFTING OF METHYL ACRYLATE T O LIGNOSULFONIC ACID, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 36(7), 1994, pp. 1104-1108
The kinetics of polymerization of methyl acrylate in the presence of l
ignosulfonic acid and grafting of this monomer to lignosulfonic acid w
ere studied. The grafting reaction is about second-order in monomer, a
nd about zero-order, in lignosulfonic acid and initiator. The apparent
activation energy is 106 and 108 kJ/mol for polymerization and grafti
ng, respectively. A kinetic scheme is proposed to describe the observe
d regularities.
