2-thiozyl methacrylamide (TMA) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminothiazole
with either methacryloyl chloride or methacrylic acid in the presence of triethylamine and N,
N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, respectively. Binary copolymerization reactions of the
prepared monomer with methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA), n-butyl acrylate (BA) and
tert-butylacrylate (t. BA) were performed in dimethylformamide at 65○ C using 1 mol%
azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The structure of the 2-thiozyl methacrylamide ...
