The invention discloses a method for preparing reversible addition-fragmentation
chain transfer emulsion polymerization. The method comprises the following steps: adding 0.1 to 2.5 portions of amphiphilic macromolecular reversible addition-fragmentation
chain transfer reagent, 20 to 40 portions of water and 1 to 20 portions of
monomer by weight into a reactor, and stirring and mixing the mixture; introducing
nitrogen into the reactor; heating the reactor to a temperature of between 50 and 80 DEG C; and adding 0.005 to 0.05 portion of water-soluble initiator by weight into the reactor to initiate
polymerization for 0.5 to 6 hours. The method has the advantages of simple flow equipment, low
energy consumption, easy removal of water
system reaction heat, short reaction inhibition period, high
reaction speed, high final percent conversion and good
emulsion stability, and the amphiphilic macromolecular reversible addition-fragmentation
chain transfer reagent can be used as a chain transfer
reagent and an emulsifier without adding conventional emulsifier in addition, has actual molecular weight in accordance with a molecular weight design value and distribution of the molecular weight less than 1.4, can be synthesized into a segmented
copolymer through semicontinuously adding the
monomer, and has good industrial prospect.
