A staged method of forming vinyl (e.g. acrylate) copolymer by solution polymerization which involves a) charging up to 90% of at least two vinyl monomers of the vinyl copolymer to a first stage reaction zone, b) polymerizing the at least two vinyl monomers to about 10 to 90% conversion in the presence of an initiator at an initiator to monomers mole ratio within a specified range, the monomer content of one of the at least two vinyl monomers of the copolymer formed in the first stage being higher than the content of another of the at least two vinyl monomers in the first stage polymer, the weight average molecular weight of the first stage copolymer being about 2000 to 500,000 Daltons; and c) continuing polymerization in the presence of an initiator in a second stage while continuously adding the balance of the monomers of said vinyl copolymer to the polymerization reaction mixture of the first stage at a monomers ratio lower in the one monomer than in the first stage monomers ratio, the initiator to monomers mole ratio in the second stage being different than in the first stage; the vinyl copolymer formed gradually continuously changing in molecular weight from the first stage and increasing in concentration of the one monomer during the second stage, the weight average molecular weight of the total copolymer of both stages being about 2,000 to 250,000 Daltons.
一种通过溶液聚合形成乙烯基(例如丙烯酸酯)共聚物的分段方法,其包括:a)将至少两种乙烯基单体中的至多90%充入第一阶段反应区,b)在引发剂存在下将至少两种乙烯基单体聚合至约10%至90%的转化率,其中引发剂与单体的摩尔比在指定范围内,第一阶段聚合物中至少两种乙烯基单体的单体含量高于第一阶段聚合物中另一种乙烯基单体的含量,第一阶段共聚物的重均分子量约为2000至500,000道尔顿; c)在第二阶段中在引发剂的存在下继续聚合,同时将余下的乙烯基单体以较低的单体比率不断加入到第一阶段聚合反应混合物中,第二阶段中引发剂与单体的摩尔比与第一阶段不同; 在第二阶段中逐渐形成的乙烯基共聚物分子量从第一阶段开始不断变化,并在第二阶段中单体浓度增加,两个阶段的总共聚物的重均分子量约为2,000至250,000道尔顿。
