Tg. Ermakova et al., Radical copolymerization of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole with 1,1,omega-trihydrotetrafluoropropyl methacrylate, RUS J AP CH, 72(6), 1999, pp. 1055-1057
Radical copolymerizaiton of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole with 1, 1,omega-trihydro
tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate in a dimethylformamide solution, initiated w
ith AIBN, was studied. The copolymerization constants at medium conversions
were determined, and the Alfrey-Price reactivity factors were calculated.
Radical copolymerization of the above monomers in the presence of cross-lin
king agents (N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and divinylbenzene) yielded transp
arent elastic hydrogels with water absorption of 40-85%.
