Wwy. Lau et al., POLYMERIZATION BEHAVIOR OF 1,2,2,6,6-PENTAMETHYL-4-PIPERIDINYL M-ISOPROPENYL-ALPHA, ALPHA-DIMETHYLBENZYL CARBAMATE, Journal of polymer science. Part A, Polymer chemistry, 31(6), 1993, pp. 1499-1503
Copolymers of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl m-isopropenyl-alpha,
alpha-dimethylbenzyl carbamate (CB) with styrene (S) and with methyl m
ethacrylate (MMA) were synthesized using AIBN as initiator. S-CB copol
ymers made from feed ranging from 0.45-0.94 mole fractions S and MMA-C
B copolymers made from feed of 0.34-0.88 mole fractions MMA were used
to determine the monomer reactivity ratios r1 and r2. The structure of
S-CB copolymers was inferred to be mainly of a random nature and in t
he MMA-CB copolymerization system there is a stronger tendency to form
alternating copolymers.
