Abstract

Anionic solution polmerization studies of benzylidene malononitrile, benzylidene ethyl cyanoacetate and their para chloro derivtives in dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a reaction medium using pipridene as initiator under nitrogen atmosphere at 100 °C were carried out. Infrared, 1H NMR and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic studies for the obtained polymers were investigated. The effect of γ-irradiation on PMMA films doped with 1 % of the benzylidene polymers was investigated by uv-vis spectroscopy. A change in the intensity of absorption bands with increasing irradiation dose was recorded. It is suggested that PMMA films doped with this type of benzylidene polymer can be used as dosimeter.
