Influence of the molecular structure of cellulose triacetate-polymethyl methacrylate graft copolymers and the degree of compatibility of the components on the properties of their solutions

Abstract

The method of light scatter has been used to determine the MM, mean square radii of inertia and the second virial coefficient of cellulose triacetate-PMMA graft copolymers. The effect of the number and MM of the grafted chains, degree of compatibility of the components on the conformation of the macromolecules, the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties and microstructure of the copolymers has been studied. © 1986.
