Chemical Constitution of Polymer and its Saponified Products obtained by Solution Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate in Dodecyl Chloride

Abstract

The chemical constitution of polymer and its saponified product obtained by solution polymerization of vinyl acetate in dodecyl chloride was studied by general analysis, determination of molecular weight and infrared spectroscopy.
It was made clear that their chemical constitution were more complicated than those in case of higher alcohol used for solvent, since the former had more complicated terminal groups.
