Abstract: | Alternating copolymer(s) containing geraniol and styrene sequences have been synthesized by using benzoyl peroxide as initiator in xylene at 80 °C. The copolymerisation follows ideal kinetics. The formation of the copolymer is confirmed by the presence of peaks at 7-7.5δ due to the phenyl group and 7-7.7δ due to the alcoholic group and 2900 cm−1 due to the phenyl groups in the FTIR spectrum of the copolymer. The values of r1(Sty)=0.76 and r2(Ger)=0.03, calculated by the Kelen-Tüdos method, indicates some alternating nature of the copolymer. The glass transition temperature (Tg) found by differential scanning calorimetry, is 90 °C. The Alfrey-price Q-e parameters for geraniol are 0.221 and 0.649. |
