PRODUCTION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT ACRYLONITRILE POLYMER
PURPOSE:To facilitate the production of high mol.wt. polymer with a mol.wt. above a specified value by adding a specified amount of beta-mercaptoethanol, etc., to the system in the polymerization of acrylonitrile in the presence of 4,4'-azobis-4-cyanopentanoic acid. CONSTITUTION:A polymerizable...

Zusammenfassung: | PURPOSE:To facilitate the production of high mol.wt. polymer with a mol.wt. above a specified value by adding a specified amount of beta-mercaptoethanol, etc., to the system in the polymerization of acrylonitrile in the presence of 4,4'-azobis-4-cyanopentanoic acid. CONSTITUTION:A polymerizable unsaturated monomer component (A) containing at least 80wt.% acrylonitrile, 4,4'-azobis-4-cyanopentanoic acid (B) as a polymerization initiator, 0.05-1wt.%, based on component A, beta-mercaptoethanol or 3- mercapto-1,2-propanediol (C) and an aqueous medium (D) are mixed together. The mixture is polymerized by heating to obtain a high mol.wt. acrylonitrile polymer of a weight-average mol.wt. of 1000000 or more. The obtained polymer has good shapability into fibers, films, etc., and can desirably be used in the production of precursors for carbon fiber, cement-reinforcing fiber as substitutes for asbestos, etc. |
