Abstract
Copolymers of acrylonitrile with methacrylic acid were synthesized ele ctrochemically. The reaction system consisted of dimethyl formamide as solvent and various quarternary ammonium salts as supporting electrol ytes. The influences of supporting electrolytes and electrode material s on the compositions of the copolymers were investigated. The copolym ers were characterized by i.r., NMR and elemental analyses. Thermal de composition studies of the polymer in air are also discussed.
