Ammonium peroxidisulfate was used as an initiator in the free radical polymerization of acrylonitrile. Benozyl peroxide was used as an initiator in the free radical polymerization of styrene and in the free radical copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile.
The synthesized polymers and copolymers have been identified by FT-IR spectrophotometer. The thermal properties and glass transition temperature(Tg) of the polymers and copolymers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry.
The activation energies of thermal decomposition for the polymers and copolymers were evaluated from the thermogravimetric data by Freeman and Carroll method.
