The Nature of Crosslinking in N‐Vinylformamide Free‐Radical Polymerization
Abstract
N‐Vinylformamide (NVF) free‐radical polymerization was found to form polymer gels at high conversions both in bulk and in solution. The polymerization was conducted at different temperatures, monomer and initiator concentrations to show the gelation conditions. Gel fractions and gel swelling ratios were also measured after separating the gel from the polymer samples. In order to confirm the crosslinking unit, a series of hydrolysis experiments …
