EVALUATION OF COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN TERPOLYMERIZATION OF A TERNARY SYSTEM BASED ON EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND KINETIC MODELING
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the kinetics of terpolymerization and structural changes in the TDMA–styrene–maleic anhydride system based on experimental data and kinetic modeling. Increasing the initiator concentration from 16.8×10⁻⁶ to 51.3×10⁻⁶ mol·L⁻¹ led to an increase in conversion from 6.4% to 15.2% and reaction rate from 4.075×10⁻⁶ to 8.965×10⁻⁶ mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹. It was found that increasing styrene content enhances the reaction rate from 3.11×10⁻⁶ to 11.07×10⁻⁶ mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹. At low conversion, the composition remains close to the initial feed; however, compositional drift is observed in some systems (MA fraction increases from 0.50 to 0.70). The experimental results show good agreement with the model (±0.02–0.04).
