Abstract:
N-Acryloylmorpholine was prepared by the reaction of acrylic acid with morpholine in the presence of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The monomer reactivity ratios for copolymerization reactions of N-acryloylmorpholine with methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene and vinyl acetate, respectively, in solution with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator were estimated by nitrogen analysis. The structure of the copolymers was investigated by IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy. The Q and e values for N-acryloylmorpholine were calculated
