Abstract

In this paper, the polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) in the presence of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) has been investigated. A series of organic halides such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), ethyl 2-bromopropionate (EBP), ethyl 2-chloropropionate (ECP) and ethyl α-bromophenylacetate (α-EBP) were employed to initiate the polymerization of BA in the presence of Pd NPs. An ultrahigh molecular weight poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) with a number average molecular weight (Mn) up to 1.86 × 106 Da and polydispersity index (PDI) of 2.38 was synthesized by using α-EBP as an initiator in the presence of 10.5 ppm of Pd NPs at 60 ºC. The orders of polymerization with respect to α-EBP, Pd NPs and BA were determined to be 0.48, 0.86, and 0.95 respectively according to the kinetic investigation. A mechanistic investigation revealed that the reaction of α-EBP and Pd NPs resulted in a generation of α-EBP residue radical to initiate the polymerization of BA around the surface of Pd NPs.
