- Abstract
The present contribution describes an innovation in the copolymerization of cyclic monomers, ε-caprolactam ( ε- CL) and 2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate ( DTC), with ethyl diazoacetate ( EDA). The characterizations of the obtained copolymers, poly( EA- ran- EDA- ran-ε- CL) and poly( EA- ran- EDA- ran- DTC) (where EA refers to the ethyl acetate group from EDA after nitrogen release), were performed using 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies and size exclusion chromatography. Under optimized conditions, the copolymer of ε- CL with EDA possessing a number-average molar mass ( Mn) of 1300 g mol−1 and dispersity of 2.12 as well as that of DTC with EDA with Mn of 8000 g mol−1 and dispersity of 1.47 were obtained. The incorporation of the azo group in the obtained copolymers was determined from the results of elemental analysis (3.30-10.22% nitrogen) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the thermal properties of the obtained copolymers were examined using differential scanning calorimetry. X-ray diffraction results showed that the synthesized copolymers were amorphous. © 2014 Society of Chemical Industry
