Abstract:
The thermal copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of complexing agents like CuC12, CoC12 , HgClg2, ZnC12, PtC16 and CrCl3 has been investigated and the increasing and decreasing effects of the complexing agents on the rate have been observed. The complexation between inorganic salts and the monomer takes place through the nitrile group in acrylonitrile. The inorganic salts act as chain transfer agents and do not appreciably change the reactivity ratios of the monomers.
