Abstract
The radical polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of poly(vinyl al cohol) as a template in aqueous solution has been studied using conductimet ry, which shows template influences on the reaction rate. A comparison is m ade between data obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy for poly(acrylic acid)-poly(vinyl alcohol) blends prepared ei ther by template polymerization or by casting of the preformed polymers. Ev idence for more significant interpolymer interactions in blends prepared by template polymerization than in those obtained by simple mixing is given. (C) 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.
