Azobisisobutyronitrile → Diethyl carbonate ethylene carbonate

Temperature

70 °C

60.0 g of methyl methacrylate, 20.0 g of 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl acrylate, 226.6 g of ethylene carbonate and 0.24 g of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) were placed in a 500 mL capacity three-necked flask equipped with a refluxing condenser and stirred and mixed for 30 minutes while nitrogen gas was introduced into the flask. The mixture was heated to 70° C. and radical polymerization was carried out at the temperature over 8 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was cooled to 40° C. 226.6 g of diethyl carbonate and 0.24 g of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) were added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was again heated to 70° C. for carrying out radical polymerization at the temperature for another 8 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was cooled to 40° C. thereby to obtain a solution of a polymer in a concentration of 15% by weight in a solvent of ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate mixture.
