Abstract
Copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and cardanyl methacrylate (CMA ) were synthesized, characterized and their physico-mechanical propert ies were investigated. The benzoyl peroxide-initiated copolymerization was carried out by using different mole fractions of CMA (0.02-0.10) in the initial feed at 80 degrees C. Structural characterization of co polymers was done using FTIR and H-1 NMR spectroscopic techniques. The thermal stability of the copolymers was evaluated using dynamic therm ogravimetry. Incorporation of CMA in the MMA backbone leads to an impr ovement in thermal stability.
