Effect of ZnCl2 on the copolymerization of acrylonitrile with N-2-chlorophenylmaleimide

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The effect of ZnCl2 addition on the reactivity ratios of the system acrylonitirle (AN)-N-2-Chlorophenylmaleimide (2CMI) has been investigated. It has been found that the addition of small amount of ZnCl2 doubles the reactivity of AN while drastically decreasing that of the 2CMI. The viscosity of the copolymers has been measured and was found to decrease with increasing the maleimide and the ZnCl2 concentrations.
