Abstract

New side-chain poly(methacrylate)s with azo moieties were prepared by free radical copolymerization, starting from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and some original azo-monomers. The chromophore content was evaluated from ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses; all structures exhibited a high content of azobenzene units. UV–Vis measurements have also supported this fact. Reactivity ratios for the methacrylate systems and their corresponding Q–e values were calculated based on several initial feed compositions (MMA and the newly synthesized azo-monomers) using an integral method with its appropriate software. The polymers were also characterized by FTIR, SEC and DSC-TGA techniques. The coloured poly(methacrylate)s exhibited glass transition temperatures between 141 and 168 °C and thermal stabilities up to 306 °C.
