Abstract
Upon exposure to N2 laser light, a gaseous mixture of methyl acrylate (MA) and carbon disulfide (CS2) deposited sedimental aerosol particles on a glass plate placed at the bottom of the irradiation cell, together with a thin film on the surface of an optical quartz window. Aerosol particles deposited from the gaseous mixture was spherical with a mean diameter of ≈0.3μm. The mean diameter and the product yield deposited from a gaseous mixture of MA (50Torr) and CS2 (30Torr) gradually increased with increasing irradiation time of N2 laser light. IR spectrum of the sedimental aerosol particles showed the bands characteristic of poly(methyl acrylate), indicating that MA is polymerized into the aerosol particles produced from CS2.
