Abstract

Abstract Ethylenically unsaturated material susceptible to free-radical polymerization, e.g., vinyl chloride and unsaturated polyesters, is polymerized, e.g., in an aqueous medium with an alkaline buffering reagent and an initiator system comprising an acid anhydride, e.g., isobutyric anhydride, and a peroxygen compound selected from an organic peroxy acid (peracid), e.g., peracetic acid, and hydrogen peroxide. Optionally, a further organic free-radical type initiator, e.g., lauroyl peroxide, a dialkyl peroxydicarbonate or azobisisobutyronitrile, is used in combination with the acid anhydride and peroxygen compound. Preferably, the anhydride and peroxygen compound are introduced separately into the polymerization medium. It is believed that at least a portion of the anhydride combines with the peroxygen compound to form the corresponding diacyl peroxide.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 97 words
A composition of matter consisting essentially of organic acid anhydride represented by the general formula, ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each selected from the group consisting of C 1 - C 20 alkyl, C 6 - C 10 cycloalkyl and C 6 - C 10 aryl radicals, and a peroxydicarbonate ester represented by the formula, ##STR9## wherein R 9 is an aliphatic group of from one to 20 carbon atoms or an aromatic group of from six to eight carbon atoms, the mole ratio of anhydride to peroxydicarbonate ester being from 0.1:1 to 20:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 97 words
A composition of matter consisting essentially of organic acid anhydride represented by the general formula, ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each selected from the group consisting of C 1 - C 20 alkyl, C 6 - C 10 cycloalkyl and C 6 - C 10 aryl radicals, and a peroxydicarbonate ester represented by the formula, ##STR9## wherein R 9 is an aliphatic group of from one to 20 carbon atoms or an aromatic group of from six to eight carbon atoms, the mole ratio of anhydride to peroxydicarbonate ester being from 0.1:1 to 20:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the acid anhydride is selected from the group consisting of isobutyric anhydride, propionic anhydride, acetic anhydride, and mixtures of such anhydrides; and the peroxydicarbonate ester is selected from the group consisting of diisopropylperoxydicarbonate, di-n-propylperoxydicarbonate, di-sec-butylperoxydicarbonate, di-2-ethylhexylperoxydicarbonate, dicyclohexylperoxydicarbonate, and di-4-tertiarybutyl cyclohexylperoxydicarbonate.
