Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of mono-2-diphenyl and mono-4-diphe nyl itaconates have been carried out. The course and kinetics of the i sothermal bulk, polymerization of mono-2-diphenyl and mono-4-diphenyl itaconates have been studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA). T he initiator used was alpha,alpha'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The polymerization has been investigated at temperatures between 100 and 1 50-degrees-C. The reaction order with respect to the monomer, the acti vation energy and frequency factor of the polymerization process hive been determined. The kinetic order with respect to the monomer shows t hat the polymerization mechanism is influenced hy the diffusion proces s.
