Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile, poly(styrene-acrylonitrile) and poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) complexes with transition metal salts have been synthesized. The synthesis were attempted by carrying out free radical polymerization reactions in aqueous transition metal salt solutions (ZnCl2, CuCl2, CoCl2, CoSO4, NiSO4, CuSO4) and by addition of the transition metal salts to the reaction mixture in the final stage of the polymerization. It is shown experimentally and theoretically that the first method is successful only when zinc chloride is used, while the cobalt, nickel, copper complexes are formed through the addition of the salts to the ready polymers. Reactions that take place during studied complexations were investigated by means of ab initio quantum chemistry calculations, thermodynamic parameters for these reactions were determined.
