PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN THE PRODUCT OF SPONTANEOUS POLYMERIZATION OF THEACRYLAMIDE COMPLEX OF CALCIUM NITRATE

Phase transitions in the spontaneously polymerized acrylamide-calcium nitrate system have been studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The po lymerization occurs via the stage of formation of crystalline particle s, which exist in a homogeneous solution and are identical to crystall ites in chemical composition. At the stage of particle formation, the degree of crystallinity is 60%, the particle size is 65 nm, and paracr ystallinity is 0.0208. An amorphous metal-containing polymer is the fi nal structural state of the system.
