Abstract
AbstractA useful method, more rapid and more accurate than elemental analysis, has been developed to determine the composition of copolymers of itaconic anhydride and maleic anhydride with styrene. The method involves a high frequency titration of the sample. The method can also be used to detect traces of acidic impurities in polymers and in the identification of mixtures of similar acidic copolymers. Titration indicates that the acid segments in the copolymers of itaconic acid–styrene, maleic acid–styrene, and the homopolymer polyitaconic acid act as dibasic acids. The method appears to have a sensitivity that permits identification and approximate resolution of two carboxylate species in the same polymer.
