TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of MMT on the polymerization rate and the saponification rate of PVAc were studied, and it was found that the rate of polymerization decreased when MMT content was increased.
Abstract: Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)–poly(vinyl alcohol)–montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite microspheres were prepared through suspension polymerization followed by the heterogeneous saponification. The effects of MMT on the polymerization rate and the saponification rate of PVAc were studied. It was found that the rate of polymerization decreased when MMT content was increased. However, the saponification rate of PVAc significantly increased in the presence of nanoclay particles. The XRD measurement illustrated that the clay particles are intercalated in the polymer matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, extensive experiments were conducted to further investigate grafting vinyl acetate onto different films (10 types of films and 20 kinds of film combinations), using various photoinitiators, for example, BP, AQ, ITX, XAN, Irgacure 651 and 184, acetone, and cyclohexanone, irradiated by UV radiation.
Abstract: On the basis of our earlier work, extensive experiments were conducted to further investigate grafting vinyl acetate onto different films (10 types of films and 20 kinds of film combinations), using various photoinitiators, for example, BP, AQ, ITX, XAN, Irgacure 651 and 184, acetone, and cyclohexanone, irradiated by UV radiation. Several means were applied to confirm the grafted PE-g-PVAc film. The results showed that increasing UV radiation intensity is favorable for grafting polymerization and the far UV radiation plays a decisive role. Among the photoinitiators tested, BP is the best one, because it was found that BP initiates the grafting copolymerization efficiently, and other initiators are less effective. To various combined substrates, the affinity between the monomer and films, the reactivity of hydrogens on the substrates, and the transparence of the top film to UV radiation are main factors affecting polymerization. Both direct method (FTIR) and indirect methods (contact angle, color reaction, absorption of dye and water) verified the true product PE-g-PVAc. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

TL;DR: The use of tackifying resin is optional and may be undesirable for many of the applications as discussed by the authors, however, it may also be employed as water sensitive binders in the manufacture of the nonwoven.
Abstract: Nonwoven assemblies bonded with water dispersible or sensitive hot melt adhesives comprising 50-100 parts of a graft copolymer of about 40-85% of at least one vinyl monomer and about 15-60% of at least one water soluble polyalkylene oxide polymer, and about 0-50 parts by weight of tackifying resin. The compositions may also be employed as water sensitive binders in the manufacture of the nonwoven. Vinyl acetate is the preferred vinyl monomer whereas ethylene oxide homo- or copolymers are the preferred polyalkylene oxide. The use of tackifying resin is optional and may be undesirable for many of the applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photoradical polymerization of vinyl acetate was performed using 4methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (MTEMPO) as the mediator in the presence of bis(alkylphenyl)iodonium hexafluorophosphate (BAI).
Abstract: The photoradical polymerization of vinyl acetate was performed using 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (MTEMPO) as the mediator in the presence of bis(alkylphenyl)iodonium hexafluorophosphate (BAI). The MTEMPO/BAI system using 2,2’-azobis(isobutyronitrile) or 2,2’-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) as the initiator did not succeed in controlling the molecular weight and produced polymers that showed a bimodal gel permeation chromatography with the broad molecular weight distribution. On the other hand, the polymerization using 1-(cyano-1-methylethoxy)-4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and BAI proceeded by the living mechanism based on linear increases in the first order time–conversion and conversion–molecular weight plots. The molecular weight distribution also increased with the increasing conversion due to cloudiness of the solution as the polymerization proceeded. It was found that the polymerization had a photolatency because the propagation stopped by interruption of the irradiation and was restarted by further irradiation.
