Copolymerization between the Two Kinds of Diallyl Dicarboxylates

Abstract

Kinetics of the copolymerization between the two diallyl esters of dicarboxylic acids are discussed in terms of cyclocopolymerization.
The copolymer composition equations are first derived from the extension of the kinetics of cyclocopolymerization, involving the copolymerizations of diallyl esters with monovinyl monomers2.
Next, they are applied to the copolymerizations of diallyl phthalate with diallyl isophtalate, diallyl terephthalate, and diallyl oxalate, and their results are discussed from the following stand- points, i. e., (i) evaluation of each rate constant ratio of elementary reaction by the use of the least square method, and (ii) check of the results obtained from the homopolymerizations or the copolymerizations of diallyl esters with monovinyl monomers.
