Abstract

The thermal copolymerization of N-vinylcarbazole (VCz) with 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEM) initiated by α,α′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in solution in tetrahydrofuran at 60°C has been studied. Different compositions of copolymer were prepared and characterized by UV, IR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, and thermal studies. The estimation of the composition of VCz and DMAEM in the copolymer was carried out by UV spectroscopy. The reactivity ratio of VCz (r 1) and DMAEM (r 2) was determined by the methods of Mayo and Lewis, Kelen and Tüdös, and Tidwell and Mortimer.
