Bl. Rivas et E. Sanhueza, Novel non-alternating copolymers synthesized by spontaneous copolymerization of p-chlorophenylmaleimide with 2-methyl-2-oxazoline, POLYM BULL, 42(3), 1999, pp. 281-286
The copolymerization of p-chlorophenylmaleimide (1) as electrophilic monome
r with 2-methyl-2-oxazoline (2) as nucleophilic monomer without initiator i
n solution under different experimental conditions was investigated. Copoly
mers were characterized by FTIR and H-NMR spectroscopy. The copolymer compo
sition was determined from H-1-NMR spectra. Molecular weights ranged betwee
n 1700 and 5400 g/mol by vapor pressure osmometry.
