Anionic copolymerization of acrylonitrile and methylthiirane and some properties of their copolymers

Abstract The basic relationships of the anionic copolymerization of acrylonitrile and methylthiirane and some molecular weight, spectral and thermal characteristics of the copolymers have been investigated. Secondary reactions leading to structural transformations of polyacrylonitrile fragments in the copolymer are discussed.
