Synthesis of a new oxazoline monomer and free radical grafting of this monomer onto ABS

In order to prepare a new reactive polymer, a new vinylbenzyloxazoline has been synthesized. The monomer has been characterized by H-1, C-13 NMR and I .R. A rheocord was used to graft oxazoline reactive group onto ABS by free radical initiation reaction. The grafting reaction was confirmed by using F ourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. This ABS based compatibiliser mixes well with ABS and is capable of reacting with the carboxylic and amine end groups of PA.
