C. Soykan et al., Copolymers of phenacyl methacrylate with glycidyl methacrylate: synthesis,characterization and monomer reactivity ratios, EUR POLYM J, 36(8), 2000, pp. 1667-1675
Copolymers with various proportions of phenacyl methacrylate (PAMA) and gly
cidyl methacrylate (GMA) were prepared by free radical-polymerization in so
lution in 1,4-dioxane using 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator at 70
degrees C. The polymers were characterized by infrared and H-1 and C-13 nuc
lear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The copolymer compositions were
determined by H-1-NMR spectra. The reactivity ratios were calculated by bo
th Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tudos methods. Glass transition and decomposition
temperatures of copolymers were determined. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
