Dye-sensitized Photopolymerization of Acrylonitrile-Vinyl Acetate Copolymers

Masakazu Taniyama, Gérald Oster

Abstract

Abstract Copolymers of acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate have been produced using a dye-reducing agent combination as the photo sensitizer. Visible light was employed as the radiation source. Nitrogen analyses were performed on the polymers obtained. The copolymerization ratio were 3.88 and 0.009 for acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate, respectively. Below an initial monomer molar ratio of acrylonitrile of 0.3, the resultant copoly-mer dissolves in acetone.
