Abstract

AbstractThe structure of the product from the free radical bulk copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and allyl acetate (AAc) was investigated. The mole fraction of AAc plays an important role in the copolymerization of these two monomers. Molecular weight (MW) and molecular weight distribution (MWD) are completely altered when the feed composition is dominantly AAc. NMR spectroscopy confirmed the incorporation of AAc into the polymer. However, no allyl–allyl linkages were observed at low conversions. Tg was found to be affected by the incorporation of AAc into the polymer.© 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
