本研究利用示差掃瞄熱分析儀DSC探討1,6-己二醇二丙烯酸酯(1,6-hexanediol diacrylate ,HDDA) /偶氮二異丁腈(Azobisisobutyronitrile, AIBN)之恆溫自由基聚合動力學。利用迷你乳化聚合法以及溶劑如N-甲基咯烷酮(1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone , NMP)及甲苯(Toluene)之溶液聚合法進行反應。
由DSC之恆溫動力學數據可得知迷你乳化聚合之活化能大於溶液聚合(NMP、甲苯)，且成核模型(Avrami–Erofeyev)最適合描述迷你乳化聚合以及溶液聚合反應。微凝膠的成核及核成長主要發生在成長反應階段。
研究迷你乳化反應及溶液聚合(NMP)所製備之高分子，進行非恆溫之熱裂解實驗，由兩種方式所製備之高分子熱穩定性相似。並利用模型自由法(Model-free method)來求出熱裂解程序之活化能。

Isothermal radical polymerization kinetics of 1,6-hexanediol (HDDA)/azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were investigated by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Miniemulsion polymerization and polymerization in the presence of solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and toluene were carried out.
The DSC data showed that the activation energy of the miniemulsion polymerization is much higher than that of polymerization in NMP (or toluene). The reaction mechanisms for miniemulsion polymerization and solution polymerization involving nucleation (Avrami–Erofeyev) were proposed.The nucleation and subsequent growth of microgel nuclei were primarily governed by the propagation reaction.
Non-isothermal degradation of resulting polymers obtained from miniemulsion polymerization and polymerization in NMP were studied. The thermal stability of the resulting polymers is similar. Model-free method (isoconversional) was used to determine the activation energy of thermal degradation.
