Abstract
The peculiarities of controlled copolymerization of acrylonitrile with methyl acrylate and dimethyl itaconate in the presence of copper-based catalytic system were investigated. It was shown that the polymerization proceeds in a controlled mode in accordance with ARGET ATRP mechanism. The increase of molecular weights in a strict agreement with theoretically predicted values is observed. The formation of copolymers was confirmed by NMR and MALDI TOF MS analysis. The introduction of mentioned monomers to acrylonitrile results in slight decrease of the polymerization rate. The performed calorimetric investigations showed the smoothing of exothermic effect of the oxidative stabilization of formed copolymers.
