Since their discovery and development in the 20th century, acrylic polymers have become
an integral part of numerous industries and are used in a myriad of applications. As is true …

Biobased polymer molecules are a goal for the future. Here, the different intermediate
pathways toward renewable structural constituents, which can substitute petrochemically …

Free‐radical acrylic homo‐and copolymerization kinetics are reviewed, focusing on
secondary reactions that impact the polymerization rate and polymer molecular weight (MW) …

Acrylate polymerizations with high exothermicity exhibit strongly non-isothermal
characteristics. The presence of side reactions involved in the polymerization mechanisms …

Butyl acrylate solution polymerization has been studied at 80–170° C over a range of
monomer and initiator levels. A PREDICI model has been developed to describe the …

Transfer to polymer in the radical polymerization of acrylic monomers results in chain
branching and has significant implications for both reaction kinetics and the microstructure of …

The formation of midchain radicals (MCRs) and their subsequent fate heavily influences the
radical polymerization of acrylic monomers. This article aims to shed light on the …

Abstract n‐Butyl acrylate (BA) starved‐feed solution semibatch experiments with varying
final polymer content and monomer feed times were carried out at 138° C. A full mechanistic …

Multiple mechanisms of backbiting and β‐scission reactions in free‐radical polymerization of
methyl acrylate are modeled using different levels of theory, and the rigid‐rotor harmonic …
