Abstract
This paper reports the investigation of copolymerization of acrylonitrile with methyl acrylate, dimethyl maleate, dimethyl fumarate and dimethyl itaconate via atom transfer radical polymerization mechanism using copper bromide as a catalyst in combination with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine as a ligand. The reactivity ratios of monomers were evaluated using the Finemann–Ross and Kelen–Tudos methods basing on the copolymer composition determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that reversible deactivation mechanism has no significant influence on the monomer reactivity ratios. It was found that among the tested comonomers methyl acrylate and dimethyl itaconate seem to be the most suitable ones for obtaining well-defined copolymers of acrylonitrile.
