Abstract
Itaconic acid and its derivatives can be obtained from renewable feedstocks. However, there are only very limited applications of polymers containing itaconic acid so far. One limitation of the application of this polymer is that commonly utilized polymerization techniques lead to very low conversions of the corresponding monomers. Consequently, itaconic acid and its derivatives are generally considered difficult or poorly polymerizable monomers. The current study presents the improvement of the polymerization by applying an emulsion polymerization of itaconic acid esters, leading to very high monomer conversions with a residual monomer content of less than 1%.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology.
As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of the highly interdisciplinary field of polymer science and technology.
