Аннотация:A physicochemical model of the interphase free-radical copolymerization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers at the oil-water interface is put forward for the first time. Such a mode of copolymer synthesis makes possible a conformation-dependent design of the sequences of monomeric units in macromolecules since their chemical structure here is governed along with the kinetic and stoichiometric parameters of a reaction system also by the conformational statistics of polymer chains. In the framework of the model proposed the expressions are derived for the rate of copolymerization as well as for main statistical characteristics of the chemical structure of this process products. Theoretical dependencies of these characteristics on the initial composition of monomers and their conversion are presented for different values of the thermodynamic parameter characterizing the degree of incompatibility of hydrophilic and hydrophobic units in a macromolecule.
