Abstract
In this article, the synthesis and characterization of a new copolymer of 2-(bis(cyanomethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (CMA2OEM)-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) are described. The synthesis of the copolymer CMA2OEM-co-AMPS consists of two parts. In the first part of the copolymer synthesis, 2-(bis(cyanomethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (CMA2OEM) monomer was resynthesized and characterized. In the second part of the copolymer synthesis, the copolymer CMA2OEM-co-AMPS was synthesized by free radical polymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) monomer in an inert atmosphere. The structure of novel oligomeric copolymer CMA2OEM-co-AMPS has been characterized by using classical spectroscopic methods (FT-IR and 1H-NMR). The molecular weight and polydispersity of the synthesized oligomeric copolymer CMA2OEM-co-AMPS were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) method.
