Dye-sensitized Photopolymerization of Acrylonitrile-Vinyl Acetate Copolymers

Non-isothermal crystallization and melting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers with different vinyl acetate contents

Non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent melting of three grades of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The DSC crystallization curves show that vinyl acetate (VAc) content has the same effect on the onset, peak and final crystallization temperatures, and these copolymers have almost the same spacing of thermal windows un...

Acrylonitrile Block and Graft Copolymers

This paper presents a review of the methods available for preparing block and graft copolymers in which one component is acrylonitrile. Methods using polymer ions and polymer radicals are considered together with a useful new technique based on reactions of nitrile groups with amide compounds of group IV transition metals. Because of its polarity and its unusual solubility properties, a polyacr...

Micro structure determination of Af-vinylcarbazole/vinyl acetate copolymers by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

The copolymers of iV-vinylcarbazole/vinyl acetate (V/A) of different compositions were prepared by solution polymerization using AIBN as an initiator. The copolymer composition was determined from quantitative "Cf'H} NMR spectroscopy. Reactivity ratios for the comonomers were calculated using the Kelen-Tudos (KT) and non-linear error in variable (EVM) methods. Two-dimensional heteronuclear sing...

Synthesis of poly(vinyl acetate) block copolymers by successive RAFT and ATRP with a bromoxanthate iniferter.

Poly(vinyl acetate)-b-polystyrene, poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers with low polydispersity (M(w)/M(n) < 1.25) were prepared by successive reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) employing a bromoxanthate iniferter (initiator-transfer age...
