Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

An investigation is presented of the preparation and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol-co-methyl methacrylate) copolymers which can be used for the preparation of novel membranes. These polymers were prepared by copolymerization of vinyl acetate and methyl methacrylate by γ-irradiation, followed by methanolysis of the produced copolymers. IR and 1H-NMR studies established the structure of the copolymers.
