SUMMARY: 2,29-Azobis[N-(2-propenyl)-2-methylpropionamide] (APMPA), a diallyl azo-compound useful as an initiator at elevated temperatures, was copolymerized with allyl benzoate (ABz) at 60 8 C, providing poly(ABz-co-APMPA) which acts as a polymeric azo-initiator. The effectiveness of poly(ABz-co-APMPA) to give a novel graft copolymer was checked by polymerizing ABz at 120 8 C and, furthermore, by the polymerization of styrene accompanied by crosslinking through termination by bimolecular combination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
