Production of vinyl halide-polyolefin graft copolymers by a liquid phase bulk polymerization process is carried out in the presence of a diluent. Suitable diluents preferably have vaporization pressure characteristics, within 6.89 x 102 kPa, and similar liquid state viscosity, as-vinyl-halide monomer. The diluents are soluble in vinyl halide monomer under the reaction conditions and are inert to the polymerization mass. The diluents are straight or branched chain or cyclic saturated hydrocarbons having from 3 to 15 carbon atoms. Particularly useful diluents are n-propane, n-butane, isobutane or mixtures thereof. The diluents are utilized in amounts from 0.2 to less than 50.0 percent based upon the total weight of the reaction charge. The polymers thus produced can be used to make moulded articles.
卤化
乙烯基-聚烯烃接枝共聚物的液相团聚工艺是在稀释剂存在下进行的。合适的稀释剂最好具有 6.89 x 102 千帕以内的汽化压力特性,以及与卤化
乙烯基单体相似的液态粘度。在反应条件下,稀释剂可溶于卤化
乙烯单体,并对聚合物质具有惰性。稀释剂是具有 3 至 15 个碳原子的直链或支链或环状饱和碳氢化合物。特别有用的稀释剂是正
丙烷、正
丁烷、
异丁烷或它们的混合物。稀释剂的用量为反应物总重量的 0.2%到 50.0%以下。由此生产出的聚合物可用于制造模制件。
