Abstract
Samples of graft-copolymers with polyimide backbones and poly(methyl methacrylate) side chains synthesized by ATRP of methylmethacrylate on polyimide macroinitiator are investigated by 1H NMR, GPC, static and dynamic light scattering, sedimentation, and viscosimetry in chloroform and ethyl acetate solutions. Hydrodynamic and conformational behavior of graft-copolymers is well-described by the wormlike spherocylinder and Porod wormlike chain models. Samples of graft-copolymers have high equilibrium rigidity, the Kuhn segment length grows from 20 to 95 nm with the lengthening of side chains. The equilibrium rigidity and hydrodynamic diameter of the investigated graft-copolymers depend on the molar mass M of side chains as M 0.7.
