Abstract

Phenacyimethacrylate (PAMA), a new monomer containing two carbonyl groups (C=O), was obtained from phenacyl chloride and sodium methacrylate. The homopolymer of PAMA and its copolymer with styrene were prepared in dioxane by using benzoylperoxide (Bz2O2) as initiator. IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR techniques were used to identify the structure of the monomer and polymers. The density of monomer, homopolymer and copolymer were found to be 1.13; 1.35 and 1.10 gr/ml respectively. Also, limit viscosity numbers, solubility parameters, glass transition and decomposition temperatures of polymers were determined.
