Copolymer of cyclohexanone‐formaldehyde resin and polystyrene

Abstract

AbstractThe reaction product of cyclohexanone‐formaldehyde resin with an acid chloride of a radical initiator, 4,4′‐azo‐bis(4‐cyano pentanoic acid) was used as initiator for styrene polymerization to form a cyclohexanone‐formaldehyde resin/polystyrene copolymer. The copolymer showed similar solubility as polystyrene.
