Abstract
Polymerizations of vinyl and methacrylate monomers (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, styrene, and methyl methacrylate) were carried out in a choline formate ionic liquid at room temperature without the addition of peroxide-based initiators. Choline formate acted as both an initiator and a solvent and produced high-molecular-weight polymers. Gel permeation chromatography and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements indicated that the polymerizations predominantly occurred by a free-radical mechanism. This method of polymerization provides an alternate route to eliminate the use of toxic initiators and solvents.
