We report fast-scanning chip-calorimetry measurement of isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) in a broad temperature range. We observed that PGA crystallization could be suppressed by cooling rates beyond -100 K s−1 and, after fast cooling, by heating rates beyond 50 K s-1. In addition, the parabolic curve of crystallization half-time versus crystallization temperature shows that PGA crystallizes the fastest at 130 °C with the minimum crystallization half-time of 4.28 s. We compared our results to those of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) with nearby molecular weights previously reported by Androsch et al. We found that PGA crystallizes generally more quickly than PLLA. In comparison to PLLA, PGA has a much smaller hydrogen side group than the methyl side group in PLLA; therefore, crystal nucleation is favored by the higher molecular mobility of PGA in the low temperature region as well as by the denser molecular packing of PGA in the high temperature region, and the two factors together decide the higher crystallization rates of PGA in the whole temperature range.

Twenty low-conversion statistical copolymers of styrene and 2-methoxyethyl methacrylate with various composition were prepared. The dependence of the copolymer composition, molecular weight, initiation efficiency and other parameters on the composition of the monomer mixture is discussed. Kinetic data are correlated by means of various models of the copolymerization kinetics. The best fit with experimental data is provided by a diffusion-controlled termination model, especially its dyad variant suggested in this study.

The free radical copolymerization kinetics of polyethylenglycol allylether (APEG) with acrylic acid (AA) had been studied in aqueous solution through using ammonium persulfate (APS) and 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as initiators. The structure of polycarboxylate superplasticizer had been characterized by IR and 1H-NMR. The rate of copolymerization was proportional to the molar ratio of monomers (AA:APEG) to the power of 0.4405, and to the amount of initiator (1.5%APS-2%H2O2, mass ratio to monomers) to the power of 0.7819, respectively. The overall observed activation energy of copolymerization was 45.048 kJ/mol. The kinetic relationship of copolymerization reaction of APEG with AA had been established as follow: Rp∝[APEG/AA]0.4405[APS-30%H2O2]0.7819e-5418/T. The temperature and initiator were main influencing factors on polymerization reaction.
