Polyfmethyl methacrylate

As an example of the use of Small s table the solubility parameter of polyfmethyl methacrylate) may be computed as follows ... 

Weak links, particularly terminal weak links, can be the site of initiation of a chain unzipping reaction. A monomer or other simple molecule may be abstracted from the end of the chain in such a way that the new chain end is also unstable. The reaction repeats itself and the polymer depolymerises or otherwise degrades. This phenomenon occurs to a serious extent with polyacetals, polyfmethyl methacrylate) and, it is believed, with PVC. 

Flow properties of polyethylene have been widely studied. Because of the wide range of average molecular weights amongst commercial polymers the viscosities vary widely. The most commonly used materials, however, have viscosities lower than for unplasticised PVC and polyfmethyl methacrylate) and higher than for the nylons. 

VV -values for bromoform and pyrrole, acidic liquids, against poly(vinyl chloride), an acidic polymer, and dimethyl sulfoxide, a predominantly basic liquid, against polyfmethyl methacrylate), a basic polymer, but large values for the acidic liquids against PMMA and the basic liquid against PVC. 2-Iodoethanol, a bifunctional liquid, showed appreciable -values with both polymers. Despite these results in line with expectations, other results based on wettability measurements are not so clear-cut. For example, Vrbanac [94] found significant apparent acid-base interactions of various aromatic liquids against poly(ethylene), presumably a neutral substrate.

Amorphous polymers are characterized by the following properties They are transparent and very often soluble in common organic solvents at room temperature. The following amorphous polymers have gained industrial importance as thermoplastic materials polyfvinyl chloride), polystyrene, polyfmethyl methacrylate), ABS-polymers, polycarbonate, cycloolefine copolymers, polysulfone, poly( ether sulfone), polyfether imide).

A similar method of hydrolysis was described for poly( vinyl alcohol) used as a template. In this case, T was -CH2-CH- and, after hydrolysis, poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyacrylic or polymethacrylic acid were obtained. The hydrolyzed product gives the color reaction with I2 in the presence of H3BO3 - specific to poly(vinyl alcohol). The second product of hydrolysis, after esterification by diazomethane, was identified as polyfmethyl methacrylate) by NMR and IR spectrometry. Hydrolysis was also applied in the case of ladder-type polymers obtained by polymerization of mutliallyl monomers. The polymerization should result in polymer consisting, at least partly, ladder-type blocks ... 

After hydrolysis by 2N methanol solution of H2SO4, the product was neutralized with KOH to pH=5 and methanol evaporated. The dry residue was expected to be poly(allilamine), polymethacrylic acid, and K2SO4. Indeed, after extraction with anhydrous methanol and acetone, poly(allilamine) was identified by NMR and IR spectrometries. After evaporation, solvent from the methanol part of the extract insoluble in chloroform part was obtained. After esterification by diazomethane the product was identified as polyfmethyl methacrylate) on the basis of IR and H-NMR spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy was applied in order to examine the copolymerization of multimethacrylate (p-cresyl-formaldehyde oligomers with methacrylic groups) with st3rrene. It was found that double bond peak at 1650 cm disappeared during the process and it was absent in the product of polymerization. Polymerization and...
