Abstract
The diester of itaconic acid with decyl and methyl groups was prepared and polymerized. The dilute solution behaviour of poly(methyl decyl i taconate) cyloxycarbonylmethyl)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethylene] (PMeDI) w as studied in tetrahydrofuran and 1-butanol at 298 K, by light scatter ing, size-exclusion chromatography, and viscometric measurements. The empirical Kuhn-Mark-Houwink-Sakurada relationships were established. T he molecular parameters were calculated using one theory of the exclud ed volume.
