Reduction of copoly (acrylonitrile–methyl acrylate)‎, and grafting the product with amic acids

Abstract EN

High molecular weight copoly (allyl amine–methyl acrylate) was prepared for the first time from lithium aluminum hydride reduction of copoly (acrylonitrile–methyl acrylate).

Softening point of the purified copoly (allyl amine–methyl acrylate) was 280-289°C and was obtained in (85 %) Conversion.

Intrinsic Viscosity of the new copolymer was (1.0) dl / g using DMSO as the solvent.

The prepared copoly (allyl amine–methyl acrylate) was allowed to react with maleic anhydride, and a new Copolymer was formed having Pendant maleamic acid groups.

Five other novel Copolymers were prepared by allowing the copoly (allyl amine–methyl acrylate) to react with succinic, phthalic, glutaric, citraconic, and itaconic anhydrides.

The prepared Coply [N – substituted (allylamine –methyl acrylate)] resins were characterized using IR, NMR, elemental analysis and TG and DTGtechniques.
