The effects of partitioning of Cu(I) and Cu(II) species to the aqueous medium on the polymerization rate (R-p), molecular weight and molecular weight distribution in the miniemulsion atom transfer radical polymerization system of styrene/CuBr/4,4'-dinonyl-2,2'-bipyridyl at 90 degrees C were investigated. According to both simulation (invoking the partitioning data for n-butyl methacrylate (Macromolecules 2000, 33, 7310-7320)) and experiment showed that the R-p and polydipersity (M-w/M-n) were higher in miniemulsion than in the corresponding solution polymerization as a result of a decrease in deactivator concentration (Cu(II) species) in the organic phase. Simulations indicated quantitatively that the increase in M-w/M-n was caused by (i) a decrease of activation-deactivation cycles and (ii) an increase of bimolecular termination.
