Using maleimide (MI) and atropic acid (ATA) as model monomer pairs and dioxane as the solvent the alternating copolymer with molecular weight distribution in the range of 1.09-1.20 was prepared successfully by charger transfer complex (CTC) mechanism in the presence of benzoyl peroxide at 85 °C. The monomer reactivity ratioesr 1(MI) = 0.05±0.01 andr 2(ATA) = 0.03 ± 0.02 were measured. The alternating copolymerization was carried out through formation of a contact-type CTC and then alternating addition of MI and ATA monomers. The molecular weight of the copolymers is nearly independent of the feed ratio in a Iarge range and the polymerization rate dropped with an increase in ATA in feed ratio.展开更多
