The free radical copolymerisation of itaconic anhydride and methyl methacrylate in solution was studied at 60 ?C. The copolymer composition was determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and the obtained monomer reactivity ratios were calculated, rITA = 1.35?0.11; rMMA = 0.22?0.22 (by the Fineman-Ross method) and rITA = 1.27?0.38; rMMA = 0.10?0.05 (by the Mayo-Lewis method). The synthesised copolymers were modified by reaction with di-n-butyl amine. The copolymer composition after amidation was determined by elemental analysis via the nitrogen content. Amidation of the anhydride units in the copolymers with di-n-butyl amine resulted in complete conversion to itaconamic acid.

Polymerization Behavior

Free radical, cationic, and anionic initiators were investigated as possible agents for the polymerization of 2,6-dimethoxystyrene. Polymerization was observed in all three cases, with rapid cross-linking apparently occurring with the cationic catalyst. Attempts at copolymerization with styrene and with methyl methacrylate resulted in the formation of homopolymers of 2,6-dimethoxystyrene, in the cationic cases, and of methyl methacrylate in the anionic cases. Random copolymers were obtained in the anionic case with styrene and in the free radical case with both comonomers. Monomer reactivity ratios were calculated, and the polymerization behavior was interpreted in terms of the molecular structure of 2,6-dimethoxystyrene.
