Acrylonitrile and Glycidyl Methacrylate Copolymers: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Characterization.
Copolymers containing acrylonitrile (A) and glycidyl methacrylate (G) units of different compositions were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. The reactivity ratios were estimated by Kelen Tudos and nonlinear error in variable methods. The triad sequence distributions in terms of A- and G-centered triads have been obtained from 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy. The complete spectral assignments in terms of compositional and configurational sequences of the overlapping carbon and proton spectra of these copolymers were done with the help of distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), two-dimensional proton-detected heteronuclear correlation (inverse-HETCOR), and total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY) experiments. The Monte Carlo simulation was used to study the effect of the fractional conversion on the triad fractions.
