ON COPOLYMERIZATION OF ISOBORNYL METHACRYLATE AND METHYL METHACRYLATE AND THEIR COPOLYMERS

A free radical copolymerization of isobornyl methacrylate (IB-MA) and methyl methacrylate(MMA)was investigated.The Compositions ofthe copolymers were determined by NMR.The monomer reactivity ratios werecalculated as r_1=0.91 and r_2=0.46.The thermal,optical and mechanical pro-perties of the copolymers with various composition were determined.
