Study of the synthesis of a copolymer of isodecyl- and benzylmethacrylates after radiation initiation

Abstract

Polymerization was carried out using the method of radiation initiation. Experiments were carried out on methacrylic acid derivatives with bulky substituents (isodecyl and benzyl). The regularities of its formation are investigated. The conditions for obtaining a homogeneous copolymer are determined. A polymer with a molecular weight of more than 106 g/mol was obtained. An increase in the viscosity of the copolymer with an increase in the temperature of the solution was shown.
