INVERSE SUSPENSION POLYMERIZATION OF THE HYDROPHILIC ACRYLIC MONOMERS IN THE STATIC CONTINUOUS PHASE

ABSTRACT

A new polymerization technique for the synthesis of the high molecular weight hydrophilic polymers was developed. This new method of inverse suspension polymerization is based on the principle of the gradually polymerization of the initiated water solution monomer droplets during their fall through no stirring continuous oil phase which is filled in a long vertical reactor. This technique was used for the preparation of spherical polymeric beads of high molecular weight sodium salt of polyacrylic acid Polymeric particles were separated, dried and tested as a waterabsorbing material for baby diapers napkins.
