Synthesis and theoretical studies of the conformational behaviour of N-vinylcaprolactam/N-vinylimidazole copolymers in selective solvent

Abstract

Bulk radical copolymerisation of N-vinylcaprolactam (VCL) and N-vinylimidazole (VI) is studied experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that the copolymer composition is maintained up to high comonomer conversions. This is...
