Abstract
The controlled synthesis of poly(stearyl methacrylate) and stearyl methacrylate–acrylonitrile copolymers is conducted using a catalytic system consisting of copper(I) bromide, tris[(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine as a ligand, and isopropylamine as an activating agent. Effects of activator concentration and monomer mixture composition on the molecular-weight characteristics of the (co)polymers are estimated. It is shown that the products of synthesis may be used as depressor additives lowering the cloud point, pour point, and cold filter plugging point of diesel fuel.
