Rds. Cunha et As. Gomes, EFFECT OF USING BATCH OR SEMIBATCH REACTOR ON THE CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION DISTRIBUTION OF STYRENE-MALEIC ANHYDRIDE ACRYLONITRILE TERPOLYMERS, Polymer bulletin, 38(5), 1997, pp. 595-600
The influence of the reactor type on distribution of chemical composit
ion of ST/AN/MA terpolymers obtained by free-radical polymerization is
shown. When a batch reactor was used we have obtained polymers with b
road chemical composition distribution. However, if a semi-batch react
or with appropriate addition protocol was used it can be possible to s
ynthesize terpolymers with homogeneous chemical composition.
