TL;DR: The monomer reactivity ratios of MAOC and BMA were computed using Kelen-Tudos (K-T) and Fineman-Ross (F-R) methods and were found to be 𝑟1=0.45, 𝐟2=1.33, respectively, which is monomers reactivity ratio ofMAOC.
Abstract: Copolymerization and homopolymerization of 7-methacryloyloxy coumarin (MAOC) and its copolymers with benzyl methacrylate (BMA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), and isobuthyl methacrylate (IBMA) were performed by the free radical polymerization method (FRP) at low conversions ( 𝑟 1 = 0 . 4 5 , 𝑟 2 = 1 . 2 9 ; 𝑟 1 = 0 . 4 6 ; 𝑟 2 = 1 . 3 3 , respectively ( 𝑟 1 is monomer reactivity ratio of MAOC). Blends of poly(MAOC) and poly(BMA) obtained via FRP method were prepared by casting films from dichloromethane solution and were characterized by DTA and TGA techniques. Dielectric measurements for MAOC homopolymer and its copolymers with EMA, MMA, and IBMA were carried out by means of an impedance analyzer as a function of temperature and frequence. Dielectric properties of polymer samples prepared in a plate form were measured at room temperature over the frequency range 0.1 kHz–2 MHz and given as compared with each other.

TL;DR: New method for increasing the saturated dissolvability of photosensitizer PQ within polymeric media by introducing copolymerization monomer into the PQ/PMMA is reported on.
Abstract: Increasing photosensitizer concentration has been considered as an effective approach to improve the performance of holographic material. In this paper, we report on new method for increasing the saturated dissolvability of photosensitizer PQ within polymeric media by introducing copolymerization monomer into the PQ/PMMA. The photosensitizer concentration of PQ was increased from 0.7wt% to 1.3wt%, compared with the typical PQ/PMMA sample. Besides, we investigated performance of polarization holographic recordings in typical PQ/PMMA and copolymerization monomer-containing PQ/PMMA with the orthogonally polarized signal and reference waves. And the doping of THFMA component resulted in a significant improvement of diffraction intensity and photosensitivity. In addition, high-quality holographic image reconstruction was realized in our home-made material.

TL;DR: The polymerization shrinkage of a range of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates) in the range C1 to C16, some of their isomers and the polymers of cyclic and heterocyclic methacylates have been measured using densitometry to reflect the fact that the change in molar volume on polymerizing a methacRYlate ester is reasonably constant at 22 cc/mol irrespective of the geometry of the substituent group.

TL;DR: In this paper, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of n-butyl acrylate with the homogeneous catalyst, CuIBr/4,4‘-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'bipyridine (dNbpy), in benzene, afforded well-defined poly(n- butyl acylate) with predetermined molecular weights and low polydispersities, Mw/Mn = 1.1.
Abstract: Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of n-butyl acrylate with the homogeneous catalyst, CuIBr/4,4‘-di(5-nonyl)-2,2‘-bipyridine (dNbpy), in benzene, afforded well-defined poly(n-butyl acrylate) with predetermined molecular weights and low polydispersities, Mw/Mn = 1.1. The number-average molecular weight, Mn (measured by GPC and MALDI-TOFMS), was close to the theoretical molecular weight, predetermined by DPn = Δ[M]/[I]0. A similar polymerization in benzene using 2,2‘-bipyridine (bpy) as ligand instead of dNbpy displayed poor control, yielding a polymer whose molecular weight was higher than the theoretical value and demonstrating high polydispersity (Mw/Mn = 2.4). Several solvents were subsequently employed for the polymerizations with the CuIBr/bpy catalyst system. Good control of molecular weight and polydispersity were achieved using ethylene carbonate, and in this system the observed rate of polymerization was even faster than in bulk. The rate of polymerization with the CuIBr/bpy catalyst in e...
