Abstract

The radical copolymerization of three polymerizable surfactants with styrene was investigated by NMR spectroscopy to assess their compositions. The reactivity ratios of these monomers were calculated according to the methods of Fineman–Ross and Kelen–Tüdos. Consequently, Q and e values were deduced by the Alfrey and Price method. The results indicated the positive effect of the fluorine chain on the reactivity of monomers bearing a long spacer between the ammonium head and the acrylic function. These monomers exhibit high e values which are in favor of an intramolecular conformation of the surfactant where the ester carbonyl function of the polymerizable group interacts with the onium nitrogen atom via a compact six-sided structure.
