Synthesis and Properties of Adhesive Polymer-Methylmethacrylate Materials

Abstract EN

Kinetics of emulsion polymerization of hydrophilic vinyl monomers in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone and technological principles of their synthesis are determined.

Reasonable technological parameters in the synthesis of copolymers are determined.

Physicochemical properties of the synthesized copolymers (surface tension, the size of latex particles, and pH) are determined.

Synthesized graft copolymers were used to create high-adhesion polymer-monomer compositions.

These compositions have high reactivity at room temperature.

It can be regulated by the nature of the polymer matrix and the introduction of comonomers and fillers due to the influence of physicochemical factors on the process of polymer formation.

The rate of polymerization and the degree of monomer conversion largely depend on the nature of the polymer matrix.

The highest polymerization rate and the maximum degree of conversion are observed when using a copolymer of polyvinylpyrrolidone and polymethylmethacrylate.

Materials based on the developed compositions are characterized by a low residual monomer content and high operational properties, such as surface hardness, Vicat softening temperature, and adhesive bond strength to supports of different nature.
