Radical copolymerization of 2,2-diallyl-1,1,3,3-tetraethylguanidinium chloride with acrylic acid

Abstract

Radical copolymerization of 2,2-diallyl-1,1,3,3-tetraethylguanidium chloride with acrylic acid in bulk and in organic solution has been studied. It has been established that the copolymerization proceeds with the formation of acid-enriched random copolymers. Kinetic regularities of the copolymerization reaction were investigated and it was found that with increasing proportion of 2,2-diallyl-1,1,3,3-tetraethylguanidinium chloride in the initial monomer mixture, the rate of the copolymerization reaction decreases.
