Methacrylic Acid → Phenoxyethylmethacrylate methylmethacrylate methacrylic acid

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

88 g of methyl ethyl ketone was placed in a 1000 mL three-necked flask equipped with a stirrer and a condenser tube, and was heated to 72° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Then, a solution obtained by dissolving 0.85 g of dimethyl 2,2′-azobisisobutyrate, 50 g of phenoxyethyl methacrylate, 13 g of methacrylic acid, and 37 g of methyl methacrylate in 50 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added thereto dropwise over 3 hours. After the addition was completed, the mixture was further allowed to react for one hour, and then a solution obtained by dissolving 0.42 g of dimethyl 2,2′-azobisisobutyrate in 2 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added thereto. The temperature of the resulting mixture was elevated to 78° C., and the mixture was heated for 4 hours. The obtained reaction liquid was reprecipitated twice with an excess of hexane. The separated resin was dried, to obtain 96.5 g of a phenoxyethyl methacrylate/methyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid (copolymerization ratio [mass % ratio]=50/37/13) copolymer (polymer dispersant P-1).
