Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce inexpensively and easily a high-molecular weight thermoplastic polymer which contains little gel component and is soluble in solvents, by subjecting a radical-polymerizable vinyl monomer to bulk polymerization with light using a polymerization initiator having a dithiocarbamate group. CONSTITUTION:A radical-polymerizable vinyl monomer [e.g., methyl (meth) acrylate, etc.] is subjected to bulk polymerization with light using a polymerization initiator having a dithiocarbamate group of formula I (R<1> and R<2> are each H or 1-10C alkyl) (e.g., a compound of formulae II, III, etc.). By the above process, a high-molecular weight polymer can be inexpensively and easily produced which not only has a high-molecular weight but also contains little gel component, is soluble in solvents and is thermoplastic. The obtained high- molecular weight polymer can be advantageously used for adhesives, molding materials, flocculants or dispersants by virtue of its excellent performance.

(Prior Art) It is widely known that there is a general correlation between the molecular weight of a polymer and various physical properties such as mechanical properties and chemical properties. In general, as the molecular weight of a polymer material increases, its rigidity, cohesive force, wear resistance,
It is also known to improve chemical resistance. Therefore, in recent years, there have been efforts to use acids to improve the adhesive strength and IJ-f% properties of adhesives, to improve the rigidity, elasticity, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance of materials, to improve the cohesive strength of polymer flocculants, or to improve the polymer phase. There is a strong demand for high molecular weight polymers to improve performance in various fields such as improved dispersibility in solubilizers.

Radical polymerization is generally suitable as a polymerization method for producing high molecular weight polymers, but the molecular weight of polymers produced by radical polymerization depends on various factors such as polymerization temperature, initiator concentration, monomer concentration, and solvent concentration.

This is because in solution polymerization, during the polymerization reaction, the solvent acts as a chain transfer agent at the growing end of the polymer, thereby inhibiting its growth to a high molecular weight. On the other hand, it is known that the lower the concentration of polymerization initiator, the higher the molecular weight of the resulting polymer, but suspension polymerization is generally stable unless the concentration of polymerization initiator is 1 weight ratio or more relative to the monomer. Ninth, weight average molecular weight (

It is well known that high molecular weight polymers can be obtained by emulsion polymerization, but since it uses a surfactant, it does not have a negative effect on the final physical properties such as water resistance, and because it uses water as a medium, it is dry. The disadvantage is that it requires a great deal of effort and expense.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When carrying out photoinitiated bulk polymerization using ordinary sensitizers such as peroxides and azo compounds, it is possible to produce high molecular weight polymers by reducing the concentration of the sensitizer. However, it is accompanied by a significant exothermic reaction, which not only makes it difficult to control the reaction, but also sometimes causes significant foaming, resulting in a loss of light transmittance of the reactant and a decrease in yield. Furthermore, the polymer produced by this method is often in the form of a polymer, and there are problems in that it is insoluble in solvents and loses its thermoplasticity.

Second, when carrying out photoinitiated bulk polymerization without using the aforementioned sensitizers such as peroxides and azo compounds, it is possible to obtain high molecular weight polymers by reducing the concentration of the polymerization initiator. However, when the polymerization initiator is dissociated by heat, redox, or light, the lifespan of the radicals is very short, and the polymerization initiator disappears when the heat source, cocatalyst, or light source is removed, respectively. Furthermore, if the concentration of the polymerization initiator is reduced, the reaction will not proceed substantially [

Light irradiation In the production of high molecular weight polymers according to the present invention, a polymerization initiator having a dithiocarbamate group added to the monomers is activated by heating or irradiating with ultraviolet rays to initiate polymerization of the monomers. This is done by starting the process. In particular, it is desirable to initiate polymerization by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, and a normal ultraviolet lamp may be used for irradiating ultraviolet rays, and the irradiation intensity, irradiation time, etc. will vary depending on the type of monomer and polymerization initiator used. However, in general, as ultraviolet rays,
The range of 300 to 400 nm is preferable, and as an ultraviolet lamp, the range of 1O to 200 w/cWL, preferably 30
~120 W/cIL, irradiation time 0.5-20 hours, Lang-reactant spacing 5-100 cfIL. Further, the reaction temperature is usually -20 to 70°C, preferably 20 to 70°C.
The temperature is 50°C.

The average molecular weight can be controlled by controlling the purity of the raw vinyl monomer, the type and amount of the polymerization initiator, the intensity and time of ultraviolet ray irradiation, and the polymerization temperature. The high molecular weight polymer obtained by polymerization can be easily purified, for example, by once dissolving it in a solvent and removing unreacted monomers and polymerization initiators.

It depends on the structure of the initiator used. That is, when an initiator containing one dithiocarbamate group in one molecule is used, a linear polymer containing a dithiocarbamate group at one end is obtained, and an initiator containing two dithiocarbamate groups in one molecule is obtained. When an initiator is used, a linear polymer having dithiocarbamate groups at both ends is obtained, and when an initiator containing three or four dithiocarbamate groups in one molecule is used, a dithiocarbamate group is obtained at each end. A star-shaped polymer with carbamate groups is obtained.
