Abstract:

This article is devoted to the analysis of the results of the investigation of the process of forming mixtures of linear polymers formed simultaneously in situ according to different mechanisms. The first mechanism is polyaddition, the second mechanism is radical polymerization. This is one of the possible ways to obtain multicomponent polymer systems. The kinetics of chemical reactions of the formation of components and the phase separation which accompanies these reactions were studied for mixtures of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with two polyurethanes (PU) of different chemical nature of both flexible and rigid blocks. PU-1 was synthesized from macrodiisocyanate based on oligo(tetramethylene glycol) with molecular mass 1000 g·mol–1 and hexamethylene diisocyanate taken in the molar ratio 1 : 2 using diethylene glycol as a chain extender. PU-2 was synthesized from macrodiisocyanate based on olygo(propylene glycol) with molecular mass 1000 g·mol–1 and toluylene diisocyanate taken in the molar ratio 1 : 2 using butanediol as a chain extender. The mixture of polystyrene (PS) with PU-2 was studied too. It is established that regardless of the chemical nature of the components, the process of in situ mixture formation is subject to general laws. In particular, the change in the chemical nature of the component formed by the mechanism of polyaddition (mixtures PMMA/PU-1 and PMMA/PU-2) or of the component formed by radical polymerization (mixtures PMMA/PU-2 and PS/PU-2) does not affect the nature of the dependence of the conversion degree of components and the fraction of formed polymers at the beginning of the phase separation on the composition of the initial reaction mixtures. Only the absolute values of these parameters change due to different reactivity and different thermodynamic compatibility of the mixed components.

Key words: multicomponent polymer systems, mixtures of linear polymers, kinetics of chemical reactions, thermodynamic compatibility, phase separation.
