Polymer complex from copolymers of acrylonitrile and ionic vinyl benzyl compounds

摘要

AbstractCopolymerization of sodium vinyl benzyl sulfonate (VBS) or vinyl benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (VBQ) with acrylonitrile (AN) gave polyelectrolytes of preferable solution viscosities. The blending of these two copolymers inN,N‐dimethyl formamide (DMF) produced polymer complexes with ionic linkages, of which the following properties were examined. The maximum in the tan δ temperature was increased by complex formation. Freundlich‐type dye adsorption and much better dyeability than on polyacrylonitrile was observed. Electric resistivity decreased with the introduction of ionic moiety. Permeability of water increased with the number of ionic sites. Homogeneous films could be cast from DMF and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solut
