Copolymerization of tri‐n‐butyltin‐α‐chloroacrylate with 2‐hydroxyalkyl methacrylates

Ravi R. Joshi, Sudhir Kumar Gupta, Jayesh R. Dharia

Abstract

Abstract Copolymers of tri‐n‐butyltin‐α‐chloroacrylate (TCA) with 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) were synthesized in solution at 55°C using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. Copolymer compositions were determined by tin analysis. Monomer reactivity ratios were calculated by the Kelen‐Tüdős method. The copolymers were further characterized by IR, 1H‐NMR, TGA, DSC, XRD and solubility. Biotoxicity studies of the copolymers are also reported. The copolymer system is compared with similar copolymers of tri‐n‐butyltín methacrylate.
