Modification of polymers in the melt

摘要

The kinetics of polymer-analogue reactions in the melt are discussed with the example of conversions of styrene copolymers including anhydride or nitrile groups in the side chain and additives with amino and hydroxyl groups. Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) has been modified with primary alcohols and amines, secondary amines, diamines, amino acids and amino alcohols. Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) has been modified with various amino alcohols.
