Copolymerization of acrylonitrile. III. Copolymerization with α-cyanocinnamamide

Acrylonitrile was copolymerized in solution with α-cyanocinnamamide up to low conversions. The conventional scheme of copolymerization fitted this copolymer. The basic properties, such as solubility, viscosity, and thermal behavior, of the copolymer prepared in bulk and in solution were determined.
