The temperature trends of the infrared spectra of the films of some specifically deuterated analogues of syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) were measured and vibrational bands sensitive to the conformational structure of the carbon backbone and to the orientation of ester groups with respect to the main chain were determined. Analysis of the spectra has confirmed that aggregated syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) contains a higher population of diads in the extended chain conformation in long syndiotactic sequences as compared to the nonaggregated polymer, and has shown that in the aggregate, ordering of ester groups also takes place.

Fourier transform infrared spectrum of atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is compared with that of atactic PMMA labeled with 18O in the ester groups. The results obtained define the assignment of the bands associated with vibrations of the ester groups of PMMA. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy provides a simple method for obtaining the spectra of “pure” derivatives containing 18O.

Proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in solution of poly (methyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl pyridine), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine), and of their derivatives obtained by quaternization with methyl iodide are presented. The vinyl pyridine structural units content of the samples is ca. 10%. In different solvents, the spectra provide information about the sequence distribution and configuration of the copolymers. A "coisotactic" alternating addition, defined as the probability of finding a methoxy group and a pyridine ring neighboring each other on the same side of the main chain, can be estimated as about 0.5 in both cases. This information arises from the splitting of the aromatic and of the methoxy signals (both in proton and carbon spectra). As expected, quaternization does not affect the copolymer configuration. Heteronuclear-correlated two-dimensional spectra can help in assigning the spectra.

The compatibilizer with double comb structure has a superior compatibilizing effect for immiscible polymer blends due to the symmetrical structure on both sides of main chains. Extensive study related to the architectural effects of compatibilizer on the compatibilization has mainly focused on the side chains. We investigated the influence of the compatibilizer-main-chain structure on the compatibilizing effect for immiscible poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(L-lactic acid) (PVDF/PLLA) blends. Two reactive-comb compatibilizers with polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as main chains and PMMA as the side chains have been synthesized. PS is immiscible with both PLLA and PVDF, while PMMA is miscible with PVDF. It was found that both compatibilizers can improve the compatibility between the PLLA and PVDF, with different compatibilization effects. In the PVDF/PLLA (50/50) blends, 1 wt.% poly(styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (RC–SG) tuned the morphology from the droplet-in-matrix structure to the co-continuous structure, while the blends with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (RC–MMG) kept the sea-island structure with even 3 wt.% loading. Moreover, RC–SG induces a wider co-continuous interval range than RC–MMG. The co-continuous structure obtained by RC–SG was also more stable than that by RC–MMG. It was further found that RC–SG-compatibilized PVDF/PLLA blends exhibit higher mechanical properties than the RC–MMG-compatibilized blends.

The C—H stretching and C—H bending vibrations of the methylene, α-methyl, and ester methyl groups of poly(methyl methacrylate) are discussed and assigned on the basis of the infrared spectra of its three deuterated derivatives: PMMA—CD3—OCD3, PMMA—CD2—OCD3, and PMMA—CD2—CD3. The digital analog of PMMA is obtained by coaddition of the Fourier transform infrared spectra of the deuterated PMMA derivatives. The experimental and digital PMMA spectra are compared in the regions of the C—H stretching and C—H bending vibrations: the agreement in frequency is excellent and the relative intensities are practically the same in the C—H stretching vibrations region. However, their relative intensities strongly differ in the C—H bending region.
