Abstract
Microstructure of the copolymer of 2-vinylnaphthalene (2-VN) with maleic anhydride obtained by radical initiation over a wide range of monomer feeds has been characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy and composition data. The microstructure of the copolymer varies depending on the monomer composition in spite of the fact that copolymer compositions are close to 1:1. The 2-VN-2-VN diad fraction is shown to increase with the 2-VN molar fraction in the monomer feed. Polymerization temperature is found to affect significantly the microstructure of the copolymer.
