Iodine → Prop-2-enoic acid--2-ethylhexyl prop-2-enoate (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A copolymer of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate/acrylic acid, 50%/50% by weight was prepared. 42.5 grams of the solution of the copolymer was prepared as a 25% by weight solution in 2-ethoxyethanol to which was added 3.75 grams of quinine bisulphate and 8.50 grams of methanol. As in Example 1, an alcoholic solution of a plasticizer, iodine, and hydriodic acid was reacted with the above ingredients to form a wet paste. The dried paste, using heat to aid dispersion, was then suspended in decyl alcohol. The substance was placed in a light valve and satisfactory operation was achieved.
