Abstract
The copolymerization of (2-cyclohexylidene-1,3-dioxolane-4-yl) methyl metha crylate monomer with styrene and acrylonitrile were carried out in 1,4-diox ane solution at 60 degreesC using BPO as an initiator. The copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectros copic techniques. Thermal properties of the polymers were also studied by t hermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The copoly mer compositions were determined by elemental analysis. The monomer-reactiv ity ratios were calculated by the application of conventional linearization methods as a result of Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tudos to less than 1 for bot h monomers.
