AIR VOID CONTROL COMPOSITION FOR BULK MONOMER POLYMERIZATION

The invention relates to the use of low levels of aliphatic short-chain saturated esters to control air void formation in any exothermic polymerization reaction in which the exotherm exceeds the boiling point of the monomer. One such polymerization is the bulk polymerization of one or more monomers...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to the use of low levels of aliphatic short-chain saturated esters to control air void formation in any exothermic polymerization reaction in which the exotherm exceeds the boiling point of the monomer. One such polymerization is the bulk polymerization of one or more monomers having carboxylic acid ester monomers, at a level of at least 10% of total monomer. The aliphatic short-chain saturated esters are used in the polymerization mixture at levels of 0.5 to 10 weight percent, based on the carboxyl-containing monomer. The invention is especially useful in polymerization of methylmethacrylate polymers and copolymers, either neat, or as a polymer composite system.
