Cd. Vlad et al., Vinyltoluene: Divinylbenzene copolymers: On the determination of average molecular weights between cross-links, POLYM-PLAST, 38(2), 1999, pp. 275-283
Vinyltoluene and divinylbenzene were copolymerized in suspension to obtain
copolymers with different cross-linking degrees. The copolymer beads were c
haracterized by specific density measurements and their equilibrium swellin
g in various solvents was investigated. The average molecular weights betwe
en cross-links were calculated based on swelling and glass transition tempe
rature data.
