Synthesis and characterization of polymers of n-benzylmaleimide

Basanti lal Hiran, Suresh Meen

Abstract

This article describes the synthesis of homopolymer of N-benzylmaleimide monomer and copolymer with MMA in THF solvent using AIBN as a free radical initiator. Prepared homopolymer and copolymer samples were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Nelemental analysis, solubility test, and intrinsic viscosity. The thermal stability was determined by TGA techniques. Molecular weight of polymers was determined byGPC.
