Abstract

The di-site phase transfer catalyzed radical polymerization of butyl methacrylate with the phase transfer catalyst N,N'-diheptyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,2-ethanediammonium dibromide (DHTMEDADB) was carried out in an aqueous-organic biphase system at 60 ± 1°C under nitrogeneous atmosphere at fixed pH and ionic strength. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed and its significance was discussed. The polymers obtained were investigated and characterized (FTIR, 1H-NMR and XRD studies).
