Notes:
Acrylonitrile was terpolymerized with styrene and 2,4,6-tribromophenyl acrylate in aqueous emulsion and dimethylformamide solution. Experimental terpolymerization data agreed well with calculations based on the Alfrey-Goldfinger equation. Triangular coordinate graphs show the feed/terpolymer relationships; the lines of unique and binary azeotropic compositions were identified. No points of true azeotropic composition were found but a “pseudo-azeotropic” region was recognized. The experimental data of the emulsion terpolymerization experiment agreed well with the theoretical curves over a wide range of monomer compositions up to high conversions. Incorporation of 2,4,6-tribromophenyl acrylate in the terpolymer decreased the thermal stability but improved the flame retardancy of the terpolymers.
