Abstract
Copolymerizations of tributyltin methacrylate (M1) with methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate and acrylonitrile were carried out in solution at 70° using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. Copolymer compositions were determined by tin analysis; monomer reactivity ratios were calculated by Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tüdös methods. The reactivities of acrylic esters decrease as the alkyl group becomes bulkier. Azeotropic copolymers could be formed from tributyltin methacrylate with butyl acrylate and with acrylonitrile. The structures of M1 and its azeotropic copolymers have been investigated by infrared spectroscopy.
