Statistical copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl ferrocenecarboxylate: Monomer reactivity ratios, thermal and electrochemical properties
Languages of Item:

Abstract:
Statistical copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with
2-methacryloyloxyethyl ferrocenecarboxylate (MAEFC) were prepared by
free radical polymerization. The reactivity ratios were estimated using
the Fineman-Ross, inverted Fineman-Ross, Kelen-Tudos, and extended
Kelen-Tudos graphical methods. Structural parameters of the copolymers
were obtained by calculating the dyad monomer sequence fractions and the
mean sequence length. The glass-transition temperature (T-g) values of
the copolymers were measured and examined by means of several
theoretical equations, allowing the prediction of these T-g values. The
thermal degradation behavior of the copolymers was also studied and
compared with the respective homopolymers. Cyclic voltammetry was
employed to study the electrochemical properties of the copolymers. (C)
