Glycidyl methacrylate and N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone copolymers: Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity ratios

Abstract

SYNOPSISFree radical copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate ( GMA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VPD) was carried out using 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile ( AIBN) , in chloroform at 60°C.The polymers were characterized by IR and 13C-NMR spectroscopic methods. The percentage composition of the copolymers were established by microelemental analysis and by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The copolymerization reactivity ratios were computed using the Fineman-Ross method, the Kelen-Tudos method, and the extended Kelen-Tudos method. The molecular weights of the copolymers were obtained by GPC measurements. Thermal properties of the homo-and copolymers were also studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The copolymers were tested as adhesives for leather-to-leather and leather-torubber bonding.

Homopolymer and copolymers of 4‐cyanophenyl acrylate with glycidyl methacrylate: Synthesis, characterization, thermal properties, and determination of monomer reactivity ratios

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27] The synthesis of 4-cyanophenyl acrylate (CPA) copolymer systems for the determination of reactivity ratios has not been reported by Chemical Abstracts. Thus, this newly designed functional copolymer will form an important class of materials for industrial applications.…”

Copolymers of acrylic acid with 2‐acryloyloxyethyl 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetate: Synthesis and herbicide release

“…The situation developed when the monomer reactivity ratios differ greatly from one another has been extensively described for different systems such as copolymerization of vinyl acetate28–33 and vinylpyrrolidone34–44 with meth(acrylic) monomers.…”

A New Approach for the Synthesis of pH‐Responsive Cross‐Linked Micelles from a Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)‐Based Functional Copolymer

“…Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a reactive monomer, which is frequently used for the preparation of functional polymers due to the ability of its epoxy group to react in mild reaction conditions with nucleophiles such as aldehydes, carboxylates, alcohols, amines, phosphoric acid, hydrogen halides, thiols, and azides . GMA has also been polymerized with different methods such as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer, group transfer polymerization, nitroxide‐mediated polymerization, free radical polymerization, and other . GMA is a commercially available and relatively cheap monomer.…”
