Abstract

Acrylonitrile/methyl methacrylate (A/M), acrylonitrile/ethyl methacrylate (A/E) and acrylonitrile/n-butyl methacrylate (A/B) copolymers containing ferric chloride were prepared by free radical bulk polymerization. TGA studies show that the addition of ferric chloride increases the thermal stability of these copolymers. Mossbauer studies of the copolymers showed the presence of Fe3+ species only. Mossbauer spectra of the copolymer heated at 200°C, 350°C and 500°C did not show a reduction of the Fe3+ species, and α-Fe2O3 was the final product formed.
