Photopolymerization of Acrylonitrile

The photopolymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by AIBN was studied. The influence of monomer concentration, photoinitiator concentration, illumination time and environmental temperature on the acrylonitrile conversion and the polymer viscosity average relative molecular mass is discussed. The differences of photopolymerization systems are summarized, in which C60-(SR)n (iniferter supported with C60 ) and AIBN are respectively used as photoinitiator.
