Abstract

Graft copolymer P(mPEG-g-VAc) have been prepared by the graft polymerization with a different ratios of mPEG with Mn=2000 macromonomers and Vinyl acetate VAc in the presence of benzoyl peroxide as an initiator using a macro radical initiator technique under influence of heating in toluene has been observed. The graft copolymer P(mPEG-g-VAc) thus formed was characterized with scanning electron microscope SEM, nuclear magnetic resonance 1H NMR, 13C NMR, differential scanning calorimeter DSC, thermo gravimetric analyzer TGA and Fourier transform infrared FT-IR techniques. The results of characterization techniques shows formation of copolymer P(mPEG-g-VAc) while the optimum condition among the studied parameters were as follows; monomer concentration 0.4 mole L-1, ratio (10:90), reaction temperature is 60-85 0C and reaction time is 3 h.
