Notes:
N-acryloyl pyrrolidone (NAP) was synthesized by reaction of pyrrolidone with acryloyl chloride. First, the polymerization of NAP and copolymerization of NAP with styrene (St) were carried out at 60°C, using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Kinetic studies showed that the rate of polymerization (Rp) could be expressed by Rp = K [AIBN]0.5 [NAP]1.0. The reactivity of NAP was found to be larger than that of N-methacryloyl pyrrolidone. The overall activation energy was calculated to be 24.3 kcal mole-1. The following monomer reactivity ratio and Q and e values were obtained. NAP(M1) - St(M2): r1 = 1.50, r2 = 0.35, Q1 = 0.42, and e1 = 1.60. Second, graft copolymers were synthesized by reacting pyrrolidone, in the presence of a catalytic amount of its potassium salt, with poly(NAP-co-St).
