Abstract
In present study, a copolymer series of a new coumarin derived monomer 3-benzoyl coumarin-7-yl-methacrylate (BKMA) monomer with methyl methacrylate (MMA) at different compositions was prepared. For this purpose, free radical polymerization method was used. Spectral characterizations were performed by FTIR and 1 H-NMR techniques. Copolymer compositions were determined with 1 H-NMR spectra. From DSC analysis, the glass transition temperature of copolymers was decreased from 179 o C to 165 o C when the level of BKMA ratio decreased to 23% level. In TGA analysis of poly(BKMA) homopolymer and the copolymer with 54% BKMA ratio, the initial decomposition temperatures of both polymers were recorded to be 321 o C and 311 o C, respectively.
