摘要

Abstract

Styrene emulsion polymerization using an alkyl-9-BBN

synthesized by reacting 9-BBN (9-borabicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonane) and styrene

in an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution was studied. Ultra-high-molecular-weight

1.0×10

) polystyrene was synthesized using a radical initiator formed through the aerobic oxidation of this alkyl-9-BBN in a high yield

80%). The kinetics of this emulsion polymerization of styrene with the alkyl-9-BBN was investigated. We confirmed that in the initial stage of the polymerization

the initial reaction rate followed first-order kinetics. The activation energy for this emulsion polymerization of styrene was approximately 56.2 kJ/mol.
