Notes:
Terpolymerization was investigated by dilatometry for zincacrylate (ZnA2), acrylonitrile (AN), and styrene (St), radically initiated by a As2S3-styrene complex (I) in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), at 90 ± 0.1°C for 1 h under inert atmosphere. The system follows non-ideal kinetics, due to primary radical termination as well as a degradative chain transfer reaction. The kinetic expression for the system is Rpα(I)0.27 (St)0.31 (AN) 0.22[ZnA2]0.12. The value for the activation energy and kp2/kt are 55 kJ mol-1 and 1.87 × 10-7 1 mol-1 s-1 respectively. The terpolymer has been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stability and solubility of the terpolymer have also been studied.
