Summary
Dilute solutions of poly(N-butyl methacrylamide) in methanol, dimethylformamide, and cyclohexanone were investigated by light scattering, osmometry and viscometry. From the intrinsic viscosity data, the characteristic ratio, C∞=9.9, was estimated. This value is compared with those for other N-substituted polyacrylamides.
In this paper we report on the solution properties of poly (N-butyl methacrylamide) (PBMAm) prepared by radical-initiated polymerization, namely, its solubility, determination of the molecular weight by light scattering and osmometry, correlation of the intrinsic viscosity with the molecular weight, and the configurational characteristics of the chain.
