Abstract

The effect of fullerene on the kinetics of homopolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and its copolymerization with methyl methacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate is studied via absorption spectroscopy and isothermal calorimetry. It is shown that the addition of fullerene brings about the inhibition of polymerization. The duration of the induction period becomes shorter when small amounts of methacrylic mono- and bifunctional monomers or a chain-transfer agent are added to N-vinylpyrrolidone. The resulting polymers are characterized by IR and absorption spectroscopy.
