4-Vinyl-1-cyclohexene was polymerized by radiation at room temperature under vacuum and in atmospheric air. The change of percent conversion with irradiation time is almost linear up to limiting conversion, but it is S-type in atmospheric air. It was shown that the mechanism of polymerization is most probably ionic rather than free-radical. The cationic polymerization was carried out in dichloromethane solution at -8-degrees-C using BF3(C2H5)2O as catalyst. The nature of the polymer obtained was investigated by UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopic methods, and the molecular weights by viscosity. Polymerization takes place by both linear addition of carbon-carbon double bonds and cyclopolymerization. The rate ratio of cyclization and linear propagation was calculated.

Polyacrolein with microspherical structure obtained by radiation-initiation and base catalysis
Usanmaz, Ali; Dogan, Recep Dursun (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1990-3)
Acrolein was polymerized by radiation and base catalyzed condensation. Radiation polymerization was carried in bulk form under vacuum and air atmosphere at several temperatures. The conversion reached close to 100%, and polymers were free flowing white powders up to 5% conversion at −15°C, up to 80% at higher temperatures and up to 10% in air atmosphere polymerization. Radiation polymerization from aqueous solutions of various pH and from acetone solutions gave white powder polymers with limiting conversion...
Crystal structure effect in radiation induced solid state polymerization of methacrylamide
Usanmaz, Ali; Kafadar, AB (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-01)
Radiation induced solid state polymerization of methacrylamide was carried out, opened to atmosphere and under vacuum conditions at room temperature. The white colored powder polymers obtained were insoluble in most common organic solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, dimethysulfoxide, acetone, etc. The polymers were characterized by IR, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometer (DP-MS), XRD, TGA, and DSC methods. The mechanism of the polymerization was elucidated from these results. There were no definite effect...
POLYMERIZATION OF 1-ETHYNYL-1-CYCLOHEXANOL BY RADIATION, ELECTROINITIATION, AND CHEMICAL CATALYSTS
Usanmaz, Ali; KIZILIRMAK, N (Informa UK Limited, 1992-01-01)
Solid-state polymerization of 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol was carried out by irradiation in vacuum and in open air at 20-degrees-C. Radiation-induced polymerization was also done in a benzene solution. The products were mixtures of oligomers and polymers. IR, NMR, UV, and x-ray investigations showed the initial formation of trimer, oligomer, and polymer. The polymer fraction increased with an increase of conversion. Electroinitiated polymerization gave soluble and insoluble fractions. The soluble fraction was ...
Polymerization of allyl alcohol by radiation to obtain microencapsulated structure
Usanmaz, Ali; Sarıcılar Zengin, Süreyya (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1989-4)
Allyl alcohol was polymerized by radiation under various conditions. The limiting conversions were about 30% in bulk, 35% when containing 0.03 mole fraction AlCl3 and 50% when water was contained at 27% (v/v). Irradiation was done with Co-60 gamma rays at room temperature and under vacuum. The presence of oxygen did not cause any change in the reaction rate. Molecular weights were determined by viscosity and cryoscopic methods. K and α values were found to be 3.57×10−4 and 0.62 for solutions in methanol at ...
Polymerization and polymer characterization of n-vinylcaprolactam
Polat, Özlem; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2005)
In this study, N-vinylcaprolactam was polymerized by radiation in the solid state. The polymerization was carried out at room temperayure under vacuum and open to atmosphere respectively. The polymerization mechanism showed autoacceleration and the rate of polymerization was higher in the presence of oxygen. However the limiting conversion was 100% under vacuum conditions and 90% in the present of oxygen. This is due to the low molecular weight olgomer formation in the presence of oxygen. The polymers were ...
