Fullerene C60 in copolymerization of allyl chloride with methyl methacrylate

Abstract

The effect of fullerence C60 on the copolymerization of allyl chloride and methyl methacrylate has been studied. With the use of UV spectroscopy, it has been shown that, with an increase in the conversion, the redistribution of optical densities of two π-π* absorption maxima due to fullerene at λmax = 407 and 330 nm is observed. A difference in the kinetics of copolymer’s formation in the absence and presence of fullerene has been found.
