Graft polymerization of allyl benzoate using poly(allyl benzoate-co-2,2'-azobis[N-(2-propenyl)-2-methylpropionamide]) as polymeric azo-initiator

2,2'-Azobis[N-(2-propenyl)-2-methylpropionamide] (APMPA), a diallyl ate-compound useful as an initiator at elevated temperatures, was copolymerized with allyl benzoate (ABz) at 60 degrees C, providing poly(ABz-co-APMPA) which acts as a polymeric ate-initiator. The effectiveness of poly(ABz-co-APMPA) to give a novel graft copolymer was checked by polymerizing ABz at 120 degrees C and, furthermore, by the polymerization of styrene accompanied by crosslinking through termination by bimolecular combination.
