“…The peaks at 3.7 and 1.4‐2.0 ppm are related to the protons of methoxy and methylene groups of MM units, respectively. In copolymer, methyl, methylene, and methane protons in the 1H had chemical shifts at 0.8 and 1.0–1.4 ppm, respectively [4,45,67,68] . The existence of resonance at 5.4‐5.7 ppm indicated that there is carbon‐carbon unsaturation content in some samples (see Figure S6) [69] .…”

Herein, we investigate the dinuclearity effect of α‐diimine Ni‐based catalysts, N1 and N2 bearing different backbone on methyl methacrylate/1‐hexene (MM‐1H) copolymerization and characterize the copolymers microstructures using FT‐IR and NMR. The monomer reactivity ratio (r) is calculated using three different methods, a high reactivity ratio for MM (r1=9.9611), whereas a low reactivity ratio is obtained for 1H (r2=−0.0226). As determined by NMR analyses, up to 96 % of the MM incorporated into the main chain. Thermal copolymer properties are studied by DSC and TGA analyses, and the results are compared with those of Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The higher content of MM in the copolymer backbone and the higher Tg for the copolymer samples (95.5 to 105.6 °C) were obtained. TGA shows that the degradation temperature of copolymers with higher 1H content progression reduced by about 10 % weight‐loss for N1 (327 to 240 °C) and N2 (325 to 236 °C). We are using a novel method with a low‐cost and speedy determination of polymer conductivity in both solid and liquid phases, which indicates the semi‐conductivity property of poly(MM‐1H) using corona discharges under the air atmosphere. Synthesized graphene‐poly(MM‐1H) nanocomposite shows the electrical conductivity augment from 3.45 μS of the poly(MM‐1H) to 30.42 μS for its nanocomposite.

“…Furthermore, the catalyst type and its structure are fundamental factors in controlling the polymer microstructure. Therefore, the reactivity ratio of monomers and catalyst structure are related to incorporating of monomers into the microstructure of the final polymer product [45–48] . Bagherabadi et al [32] .…”

A copolymer based on styrene and 1‐hexene was synthesized using free‐radical emulsion polymerization. Reaction pressure has a significant influence on copolymer formation. There was a phase separation when styrene was copolymerized with 1‐hexene at lower pressure (1 bar) and a stable emulsion was observed under a pressurized reaction (4.5 bar). Additionally, a phase separation was also observed at a lower reaction pH (7.2) and was evidenced by the reduced pH value at the end of the copolymerization. H1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis showed the disappearance of methylene proton peak intensities in both styrene and 1‐hexene after the copolymerization reaction indicating the increased conversion of monomers in emulsion. Synthesized copolymer was also studied using the C13 NMR analysis. It was further analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The emulsion was destabilized by the synergistic action of acid and temperature to recover solid polymer. The applicability of the copolymer as a polymer modifier was studied by blending with commercial PS. Copolymer thermal properties were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Other properties such as emulsion particle size, droplet morphology, and the effect of pH were also investigated in this study.
