Na. Lavrov, COPOLYMERIZATION OF N-VINYLSUCCINIMIDE WITH VINYL-ACETATE IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION, INITIATED BY THE MANGANESE TRIS(ACETYLACETONATE)-ACETIC ACIDSYSTEM, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 67(9), 1994, pp. 1358-1360
A study has been made of copolymerization of N-vinylsuccinimide with v
inyl acetate in aqueous solution at 25-40 degrees C in the presence of
the initiating system manganese tris( acetylacetonate)acetic acid. Th
e influence of the ratio of the monomers and the components of the ini
tiating system on the process kinetics, the composition of resulting c
opolymers, and the copolymerization constants has been examined. A fea
sibility has been demonstrated of preparing high-molecular-weight N-vi
nylsuccinimide homopolymers under these conditions.
