The copolymerisation of tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate

The bulk copolymerisations of tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, THFMA, and methyl methacrylate, MMA, were carried to low conversion at 60 degrees C, using benzoyl peroxide, BPO, as the initiator. The compositions of the copolymers were determined using C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were determined using differential scanning calorimetry
