PECULIARITIES OF THE THERMAL POLYMERIZATION OF THE COMPLEX-BONDED ACRYLAMIDE

Peculiarities of the thermal polymerization of acrylamide bonded in a complex with Co(II), Ni(II), or Cu(II) nitrate have been studied by di fferential scanning calorimetry. The polymerization can occur in the r egions prior to the melting of the complex, during melting, or right a fter it, depending on the rate of heating and the nature of the comple xing agent. The effect of the addition of water and inorganic or polym eric powders on the form and character of the polymerization thermogra ms, which have a complex multimodal structure in the polymerization re gion, has been studied. The analysis of the results obtained indicates that during heating and melting complexes of a number of structures d iffering in their polymerization properties are formed.
