Abstract
The polymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of two unsaturated optical brightening agents (OBs), 1,8-naphthalimide deriv atives, has been investigated. It was found that the monomeric optical brighteners took part in the polymerization and were covalently bound in the polymer chain. The influence of the monomeric OBs on the rate of the process and on some of the properties of the copolymers thus ob tained, such as molecular weight and thermostability, was established.
