The effect of various structures of functional monomers and long-chain α-olefins on their polymerization reaction

All kinds of α-olefin monomers with ۶ and more carbons can react with maleic anhydride viaconventional free radical polymerization (CFRP). In this research, the copolymerization reaction oflong-chain olefins such as ۱-He and ۱-De with maleic anhydride was investigated. At the sameconditions, the results of the conversion values showed that the conversion decreases with theincrease of branch size. Thioglycolic acid chain transfer agent slightly decreased the rate ofpolymerization. Addition of branched monomer with ester bonds such as ۲-ethylhexyl acrylateincreases the activity of reaction sites and reaction conversion. The structure of various synthesizedpolymers with different branch size and polar functionalities was characterized by FTIR method.
