A new polymerizable monomer, [4-(9-ethyl)carbazolyl]methyl methacrylate (2), was synthesized by reacting of methacrylic acid and 4-hydroxymethyl-9-ethyl carbazole (1) by esterification procedure in the presence of N,N 0 -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The resulting monomer was then polymerized free-radically to form the poly (methyl methacrylate) containing 4-(9-ethyl)carbazolyl pendent groups. Also, copolymerization of monomer 2 with various acrylic monomers such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and n-butyl acrylate by azobisisobutyronitrile as a free radical polymerization initiator gave the related copolymers in high yields. The structure of all the resulted compounds was characterized and confirmed by FTIR and 1 H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The average molecular weight of the obtained polymers was determined by gel permeation chromatography using tetrahydrofurane as the solvent. The thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimeter instruments were used for studying of thermal properties of polymers. It was found that, with the incorporation of bulky 4-(9-ethyl)carbazolyl substitutes in side chains of methyl methacrylate polymers, thermal stability and glass transition temperature of polymers are increased.
