Description
Acrylonitrile (AN) and 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEM) terpolymers with fumaronitrile (FN) or itaconic acid (IA) as the termonomer have been synthesized. The solvent-water suspension polymerization was carried out at 65 degree Celsius, using α, α-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator in a mixture of dimethylformamide (DMF) and deionized water. Composition of AN and DMAEM was fixed at 98:2 in all the terpolymers, while the amount of FN and IA was carried out on the terpolymers by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The glass transition temperature (Tg), initial temperature of cyclization (Ti), heat evolved (ΔH), and the char yield of the terpolymers are compared with that of the copolymer of AN and DMAEM.
