Summary
For a novel corrosion inhibitor for copper, the free radical copolymerization of vinyl imidazole(VI) and vinyl trimethoxy silane(VTS) was carried out in benzene at 68 °C using azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN) as an initiator. The reactivity ratios of the two monomers were determined from instantaneous composition diagram: r VI =3.22 and r VTS =0. Thermal stability of poly(VI-co-VTS) depended on VTS mole fraction in the feed rather than the molecular weight of the copolymer, due to the disiloxane bond linkages formed during heating.
