Resumen:
Diisopropyl
fumarate (DiPF), a representative monomer of dialkyl fumarates, was polymerized
by microwave irradiation at three different powers (140, 210 and 280 W) using a
domestic microwave oven. The kind and concentration of initiators (2,2´-azobisisobutyronitrile, AIBN and
benzoyl peroxide, BP), power and energy of microwave irradiation on the
conversion, weight average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity
index (Mw/Mn) were analyzed. The results indicate that
the microwave conditions have a significant non-thermal effect enhancing the
polymerization rate of DiPF.
