Abstract
Copolymerization of itaconic acid (IA) with butyl acrylate (BuA) has been c arried out in dioxane in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile as the init iator at 65 degreesC. The monomer reactivity ratios (r(1) and r(2)), Q and e for IA with BuA were determined and discussed. The obtained copolymers pr epared by different monomer feed concentrations and their metal complexes w ith copper and iron salts were characterized by FTIR, UV-vis, x-ray diffrac tion, and thermal analysis (DSC and TG). The conductivity for the various c opolymers and their metal complexes measured at room temperature showed sem iconducting behavior.
