Abstract

Iron(III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)₃) was employed to mediate the controlled radical polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) in the presence of a reducing agent (RA). Polymerizations were conducted with a molar ratio of [VAc]₀/[initiator]₀/[Fe(acac)₃]₀/[RA]₀/[ligand]₀ = 500 : 0.8 : 1 : 2 : 3 and a volume ratio of VAc/solvent = 1 at 70 °C to investigate the effects of initiator, solvent, and reducing agent on the polymerization reaction. The kinetic plots of VAc polymerizations were linear, and the molecular weights (M_n) increased proportionately with monomer conversions.
