Copolymerization of methyl-α-cyanocinnamate with N-vinyl pyrrolidone

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

N-vinyl pyrrolidone was copolymerized with methyl α-cyanocinnamate in solution by radical initiation at 70°C up to low conversions. Essentially equimolar copolymers were formed over a wide range of monomer feed ratios. Terminal, penultimate, and complex copolymerization models were applied by using the copolymer composition data. The participation of monomer complexes in the propagation reactions could account for the deviations of the copolymerization behavior from terminal and penultimate models. The copolymers were characterized by IR, PMR and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy.
