Abstract
The conditions were developed for synthesis of a copolymer of acrylonitrile and vinylimidazole in dimethyl sulfoxide capable of forming complexes with transition metals. Fabrication of a chemisorption fibre from AN-VIM copolymer was investigated. It was found that an increase in the concentration of VIM in the copolymer above 35 wt. % lowered the physicomechanical properties of the fibre. Incorporation of bulky VIM molecules which loosen the structure of the copolymer in the polyacrylonitrile chain affects the shrinkage characteristics of the fibre, manifested by a decrease in its service temperature to 50°C.
