Notes:
4-(1,1-Dicyanoethylazo)benzyl methacrylate (3), a new azo-monomer, was copolymerized with styrene, methacrylonitrile, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) giving azo-copolymers. The compositions of the copolymers from 3 and MMA were nearly identical with those of the monomer mixtures. Thus allowing 100% conversion leading to copolymers of almost identical chemical composition. These azo-copolymers were used as initiators for different monomers in either emulsion or solution, resulting in graft-copolymers. The graft-copolymers were characterized by IR and GPC. In one case the raw graft-copolymer was separated into ungrafted backbone-polymer, grafted copolymer, and homopolymer of the component to be grafted.
